Other Literature Animus's Lore

[Animus Viral]

This is where I have lore around objects that I have within my own... I guess, multiverse, if you wish it to call it that. I'm a bit bored, so that's why I'm making this. Also about everything here is subject to change but, well, life I guess? Anyways, let's start. Plus, I'm going to be adding so much more, so most of this probably will be in a summary form or wiki looking type thing because I have a habit of doing stuff like that. Also some stuff may become outdated since I'm less active with this now.

Spoiler: Lore of the multiverse itself

Amos Viren is an artificial plane of existence created by Animus Viral. It has an immensely large but finite amount of universes, however, it is boundless. Technically this is not a contradiction. As an analogy, Earth's surface does not have any bounds, but it is still finite.

The Nexus of the Infinite is a plane, universe, or a place in the center of the Multiverse with a great influence on all other worlds.
The Nexus is connected with the large amount of mana/energy lines flowing into and from other worlds. That lets it to quickly regenerate its supplies of mana and most likely is a way of how it affects other worlds. Its collapse can cause the destruction of the time stream—an abrupt end of the Multiverse's existence and the near-infinite amount of its planes.
Smaller versions of the Nexus also exist, helping easing the task the main Nexus has, which is providing mana to other worlds. These smaller versions are known as a Pseudo-Nexus.

The void between the worlds are mainly known as Convexity. It acts as an airlock between worlds and even worlds that are beyond Amos Viren by allowing the compatibility of physics of one world to another, to prevent characters from falling through floors and of the sort. It is filled with space, temporal energy, mana, and aether. In the use of universal portals, Convexity acts more like a doorway rather than a physical space. However traveling specifically to Convexity is harder than it seems, as it is an almost uninhabitable place, though it is possible to live there, as seen with Concurrent Skies, which is a heavy shielded portion of Convexity.

Spoiler: List of universes within the multiverse

Not all of them are listed. Any universe that are not listed here should either be considered non-canon or not a part of Amos Viren.

• Lotus Mox/Prime Reality - The first and prime reality of Animus Viral's Multiverse. It is a world that is recreated in Animus Viral's image, as a world that is built to copy and replicate, then improve on it. It is a chaotic world built on creativity of one being.
• Madril/Multifinite - This is an alternate universe of Earth, and shows multiple worlds, universes, and dimensions in one place. It combines worlds like NationStates, 39 Clues, H.I.V.E., etc. together in one single world.
• Odbnana/Backstage - Where those who were forgotten and faded into obscurity, this is where they were placed. They are forced to stay here unless need elsewhere. Supreme/Glitched Teridax acts as Charon of this world.
• Eleder/Elder Sea - A peaceful place, a sea of seemingly oddness. The Elder of the fish is the ruler here.
• Catacla/Fallout - This is the alternate fallout universe created by Animus Viral. Notable changes are the New Enclave, Vault 13 opening earlier, and a few other changes involving mainly Big MT and the Zetans.
• Arret/Terraria - Most of the lore of this world follows Calamity Lore, few differences being Yharim's cloning, and the dimensional antics of the creators of the Lexonomicon.
• Hologycet/Bionicle - An alternate universe of the Bionicle world, along with many pocket dimensions contained within. It is where Velika T. came from.
• Phonpsi/Planechase - An artificial world created by a planeswalker, it is a world full of technology. They continuously search for more and more technology, but with the Machine in place, they are limited to what they do.
• Erewhon/Fusion - A place overtaken by the Plague Fusion, scattered to this world after Yharim left Arret, it is a volatile place known for breaking down planets and absorbing them. It consumes with endless hunger and is ruled by the Plagued One
• Aether Rift/Omega Portal Of Power - The Omega Portal of Power a universe named for containing the Omega Portal of Power, a powerful rune covered portal which is used by Animus of sending characters to other worlds. It can also be used as a viewer, giving users the ability to seek out locations and characters of interest. The Portal of Power serves as a transport pedestal to take the user or their desired objects or beings to other areas or distances. Though in most cases users and desired objects or beings can be transported instantly to an area in their sights, additional regular travel may be needed for unknown or unreachable locations. It also prevents unauthorized entities from entering this multiverse, both through this or through other uses, i.e. void portals. It also allows the control of time of the other universes in Amos Viren, allowing to speed up time in certain universes while slowing down time in others. It cannot do this to all universes.
• Noictaddi/Cookieverse - It is a world filled with cookies, allow Animus to give out nearly infinite cookies. Using the power of Cookie Clicker, the world has become cookie. Only faint memories can remember the world before the machine of the Cookie Clicker was found.
• Avja/Minecraft - A world built entirely out of blocks, with more worlds in between, the engineers of this world have created progress and have furthered their technology to make mundane tasks a thing of the past.
• Xel/The Great Library - Somehow a universe, this place contains thousands of millions of records, stories, chronicles, and much more. The mysterious Machine resides here, along with the Guardian of the Library.
• Das/Infinity Dungeon - Based off of Jigarbov's Infinity Dungeon, it has been replicated and altered to an extreme amount, with more powerful relics built around the Infinity Core, a powerful machine made to handle infinite power in order to make the dungeon infinite. The farther the dungeon adventurers go away from the core, the more brutal and deadly it becomes, as they are nearing the edges of the ever growing dungeon, and the more creatures that are created there.
• The Calculation - A world built specifically for progression and technology. It strives to advance technology to its absolute limits, and is willing to steal ideas to do so.
• Future-Shifted - A world that has collapsed on itself, it slowly decays in an uncontrollable rage, and time and space have gone haywire here. It is a chaotic place none dare to venture to.
• Universe Clickteam - A world that controls any world known to use the power of Clickteam. It is one of the most vast universes out there. Given the diversity of this universe, a summary is unavailable as of now.
• Rabiah Planes - This is an area of the multiverse in which multiple alternate worlds are.

Spoiler: Items and stuffs

These objects are at least somewhat unique to this multiverse. They are basically Macguffins, in a way.

Known Unique Artifacts:
These are not included in the other objects for the reason of not fitting or just me being lazy.

• Animus Viral's Magic Pen - A unique tool, able to change stories, for better or for worse with a single stroke. It is a reality warping object able to produce whatever the writer had in mind. The more details they wrote, the more powerful and stable their result would be.
• eval() - It is said that this simple function holds the key to the multiverse, and that whosoever masters it may shape reality to their will. Good thing you have no idea how it works. Makes for a neat plaque on your wall, though.
• Orb of Insight - It is able to see what is happening in places far away from the user. However it cannot be controlled, and what it sees is completely random.
• Rabiah Shard - A mysterious cosmic shard, said to be from the Thousandfold Refraction of Rabiah. It is able to bring Refracted entities into being, even a Refracted version of the user. There is only one in existence, and cannot make a Refracted version of itself. Only Animus is able to determine its results. Should someone else use it other than Animus, then a random Refracted character will be created instead, with no way to predict or alter the result.
• Fist of Nexus - Basically the Infinity Gauntlet, however charged with mana and bright light blue in color. It allows users to use any magic spell without mana or training, granting basically infinite power. It cannot surpass Animus Viral's Magic Pen however. “It is all in my grasp. Every petty dream, every grand scheme, every soul, every fear. It all flows through me and from me.”
• Customite Key - Despite it being called a Customite Key, it's actually made of Ultimatium. It is called a Customite Key for its ability to turn Completed Customite back into Primal or Forming Customite. It was produced a long time ago, and is mistakenly thought by the inhabitants of Amos Viren to be able to turn anything into anything, similar to the Philosopher Stone. It is constantly sought after.

Unique Materials:

• Super Evil Corruption - As an experiment by the Master's Forces, they attempted to create a version of the corruption that would self purify itself, along with everything else near it. However, its magic became quite unstable, creating a new substance, known as Super Evil Corruption. The magic effects of the substance will turn the victims into a dark, green crystal-like version of their former self. The victim is turned evil and enraged, and hold no memory of their life prior to the transformation. They serve only the forces of destruction and the purpose of spreading the corruption and do so willingly. The transformation also grants them powerful and dark abilities. Only defeating the corrupted victim will they return to their normal state. This is the main source of the Darkened Variants, created through partial corruption from this substance. It strongly resembles a darker version of Demonite Ore from Terraria.
• Furni - A energy filled combustable fuel that provides 150% more energy than coal when burned. There are no magic properties that come with this material
• Minezinc - A highly powerful reactant, it furthered the use of conventional explosives and their effectiveness. It is called Minezinc for its close properties to zinc other than the more explosive Minezinc is, and the fact it is mainly used in explosives used for mining. It has no magical properties.
• Plague Fusion - A rogue Plague Nanobot, recreated to become something else. And then it started to spread. It is shown as a green goo, no longer a cloud of toxic air. Plague Fusion in its raw 'goo' form is very toxic and harmful to its surroundings. Living creatures can take damage if they come into physical contact with the Plague Fusion, and prolonged exposure is lethal. If creatures that are exposed to it in a non-lethal way are exposed for too long, they become mutated. It also effectively breaks down the environment by destroying and absorbing all of its nutrients of the living creatures in its vicinity and drains nutrients from the ground. The living floor in an area usually ends up dying or mutating into unrecognizable forms, and the ground itself can crumble apart. It can be molded into characters that replicate the movements and attack patterns of enemies. These life forms can also be combined with the environment and other materials to form bigger and more varied creatures. Creatures that are composed of or influenced by Plague Fusion are usually being controlled by the Plague Mind. There is no known way to combat this mental assault other than purging the Plague Fusion. The infection of Plague Fusion can even distort gravity, creating floating platforms and floating debris. It appears in three forms, being thick toxic clouds of air, used to overtake, liquid which further spreads, and its raw form. Alternate name for Plague Fusion is Gwik.
• Customite - A magic mineral used to work similarly as Metamaterials, or materials that are created with custom properties. Customite can change any property it has with the exception of the property of being a form of Customite. Customite comes in three main forms, Primal, which is when it is purely Customite, Forming, which is when Customite is forming and changing its properties, and Completed, which is Customite when it completely changed its properties. Only when it's in Primal and Forming can a person change the properties of Customite, but when it becomes Complete, it will permanently stay with those properties unless someone has the Customite Key. Given its use of changing properties, it is usually not called Customite when it is in its Complete Form, usually called by other names given that others can't recognize it as Customite.
• EZT - Known as Endron Zymithium Trisystaline, it is assumed to be a compound, given its name. It is a material that appears throughout Animus Viral's universes, usually near their edges. Even though it appears in a world that doesn't belong to Animus, Animus has altered its properties and powers to something new, containing untold potential that has not yet been fully discovered. It is assumed that it is the solid form of Aether, though it is unknown. It is formed within Nebulas as a byproduct of unknown potential.
• Aether - Greek word for 'what the universe is made of', it is a powerful energy that is capable of reality warping, and is able to summon or cast objects by pulling them from the aether. It is unknown what it is completely is, but it is simply seen as chaos energy. Weapons that use aether are usually very potent against almost all entities and other materials.
• Aetherdermis - A combination of the byproduct of synthetically created Protodermis and aether, it creates a monstrous chemical compound that effectively conducts shadow energy.
• Mana - A mysterious energy that supplies worlds with magic. Magic, unlike physics, has no unbreakable laws...
• Mimic Crystal/Shard - Purple Magical Crystals/Shards able to create illusionary copies of characters and can record and imitate other characters. This allows for certain villains and bosses to become playable, as that is its purpose. Villains and Bosses that become playable are actually illusions created by the Mimic Shards, and therefore, other than general knowledge, will not retain their memories, though it can replicate their attacks and behavior. These were scattered across worlds during the creation of Glitched Teridax. The illusions can be defeated through conventional means, like normal fighting, and when beaten, the shard must recharge in order to create another illusion. THere are two variants, being common and uncommon. Common crystals can only contain one character to imitate, while uncommon can contain 2 or more characters to imitate.
• ImaginCreation crystal/shard - Rare platinum colored Mimic Crystals. These are able to customized by the creator. However, their creation will be somewhat permanent, and things like elemental affiliation cannot be changed. The summoned creature are dispelled if the crystal they come from breaks, and it is almost always permanent if they get dispelled this way.
• Ultimatium - An indestructible magic metal that is used to perfect the Omega Portal of Power, and to restrict others from causing too much chaos in the multiverse. It cannot be destroyed by anything, including Customite, excluding Animus Viral's Magic Pen.

Unique Machines and Technology:

• PIPBUD - Portable Inventory Pet Base and Utility Devices, or more commonly known as 'Pip-Buddy', it was created by extreme redstonists from Minecraft, this small companion has immense utility use, able to instantly smelt ores, craft, and more, at the cost of having to feed it every time it is used. They are mainly found within the Minecraft world of this Multiverse.
• Sierra Madre Terrarian Machines - Also known as the SMT machine, it is a machine tweaked and developed by the Shadows to accept the coins provided by Terraria to create any molecular resource. However, it is limited by the fact it must have templates of said resource. But it is able to reverse engineer any material that is 'sold' through it. Despite its origin from being recreated by the Shadows, it is found floating around in the economy all over the multiverse after the Shadows traded it with the New Enclave. Most non-Shadow variants have been jury rigged to accept other currencies. Despite this, it cannot self sustain itself in non-Terraria worlds, due to the constant need of producing more and more currency just to use it.
• Fusion Nanos - Plague Fusion reverse engineered and purified by the Shadows to replicate smaller versions of certain characters to assist in fighting the Plague Fusion, similar to sackpeople, except they are usually larger than sackpeople, since Nanos are slightly larger than a normal sized plush, and much more durable thanks to the purified Plague Fusion. They usually have similar powers as their replicated character, and are placed into three groups, named Adapt, Blast, or Cosmic. Only one type of Fusion Nano can change their typing, shapeshift and replicate powers of their shapeshifted entity, being the Unstable Fusion Nano, there being only one in existence. Nanos that are copying shapeshifting characters cannot shapeshift into large/normal sized versions of other characters, and all shapeshifting Nanos, save the Unstable, cannot duplicate the powers of their shapeshifted character.
• Gio-Steel - A steel alloy made specifically for heat retention and heat resistance by Gio-Corp. It can withstand immense heat equivalent to 3000C almost effortlessly. However, it is not a metal alloy that can withstand much physical damage such as bullet shots and explosives.
• NanoGUI - Nanomachine Graphical User Interface, it allows users to check their own status and many other functions through the use of Nanobots and frequency waves. It is capable of showing a mini-map to allow users to check where they are, show their health and status, though it won't show numerical values, what they have, any recorded information, and other several functions.
• Circle Visor - This eye visor goes all the way around the wearer's head, and allows their eyes to move all the way around, which gives them a 360-degree vision. It was designed by Vo Industrial Laboratories, and only prototypes exist of it.
• Aether weapons - Weapons that use aether as a source of power and uses its strength, able to disintegrate any material. Despite its effectiveness, it is not widely used for the reason of it being relatively new technology and its tendency to backfire.
• Nullification Voidal Energy Gun - A weapon with multiple modes, used to nullify targets, either by disabling or disrupting systems and shields through sonic, energy waves, kinetic energy, or molecular destabilization, or nullifying by eradication. It is created by Vo Industries.
• Gizmo-tron - A chaotic, tablet-like, handheld device made for multiple purposes, only used by Issac Malodor. It has a battery insertion and ejection device for quick refuelling, lockpick device attachment, mini-radar, communications interceptor, mechanical arms used like wrenches, computer hacking mechanism, mini-map, and small solar panels.
• Dexterity Core - A teleportation machine that is dimensional-transcendental, meaning its bigger on the inside. It is used to contain multiple objects and can be used as shelter. Most models appear as a normal backpack, for some odd reason. Its maker is unknown.
• Renderstone - A modified and altered version of Redstone and Endstone from Minecraft, it is a material capable of replicating redstone contraptions and able to have 'wireless' redstone properties. It retains most of Redstones properties except it can be used with little to none restriction within water, and does not need to be placed on a block, instead able to form wires that can also be colored with dye.
• EkatOS - After the events of Hacknet, EnTech (Not to be confused with Orifan1's EnTech) attempts to recreate Hacknet, using the past remnants of Bit's work, the 'Hacknet_NetCore.dll' found in the EnTech Workstations, and other alternate forms, they were able to remake Hacknet, to a point. However, during this endeavor to restore Hacknet, it was leaked. Hackers who found Hacknet used this to build upon existing programs or to figure out how to improve security on their own network. Specifically, two unknown hackers, going by the names of 'Luc' and 'Ekat' spearheaded the development of the new EkatOS, creating a powerful hacking OS. However, only certain hackers have access to this specific OS, while the other bootleg versions are widespread, yet becoming ineffective while everyone else upgrades their own defenses using parts from HacknetOS, only EkatOS really stands out as the still useful hacking OS.
• SkylightOS - Developed by Gio-Corp in an attempt to compete with Vo Industries, this is the equivalent to Windows OS in the real world.
• Vo-OS - Vo Industrial Laboratories' personally created OS, this is built to be virtually impervious to all hacking devices, making it compete with SkylightOS in terms of popularity. Except I guess an axe or anything larger or like it. However, there is a intentional flaw within it, which allows any hacker who can access it to gain complete control of the computer, in an attempt for Vo Industrial Laboratories to gather more information on its users and to exploit it, then to push the blame onto hackers in order to spark hatred of hackers all around.
• The Juggernaut - A large, heavily armored machine with thousands of mechanical hydra-like heads for combat and for easy tactical advantage, capable of flight and wielding heavy firepower. It is known for its aether destabilization rift emitter, able to blast anything to nothingness. It's only weakness is inside its hull, being the aether rift that powers it. It looks like a massive turtle shell with thousands of hydra heads sticking out from all sides, with small arms/legs compared to itself when it is on the ground, while having 500 separate small or medium engine emitters on its underbelly while in flight. It is mainly used as a flagship for the Master's Forces.
• Portable Evil Containment Unit - A machine built to absorb and contain world evils on the behalf of the Master, it is able to absorb world evil energies for its own purposes in combat and then to purify all contained world evils it has when a certain threshold is reached.
• Autogenerator - A machine that takes advantage of magic's ability to defy or break physics of the 'normal' world to create a perpetual motion machine, that gives off excess mana to use. Only one is known to exist, and is used within the Nexus of the Multiverse to spread throughout Amos Viren.
• Shroudcraft - Aircraft that have cloaking fields that make them completely invisible to infrared and electromagnetic sensors and nearly invisible to optical sensors and have giant VTOL engines. They are produced by the Shadows.
• Voliaths - Huge robots that were created by Vo Industrial Laboratories that have the ability to destroy tanks from the ground and in the air. At thirty metres tall, these armoured metal robots have multi-barreled Gatling cannons mounted on each arm and rocket pods on each shoulder. In the centre of each of the machines’ chests is a black glass cockpit shrouded in heavy armour where the pilot would sit and control it. It can be seen similar with titans from TitanFall, but it lacks an AI that would control it without a pilot.

Unique consumables:

• Double Decker Apple Sandwich - Two slices of bread with 4 apples worth of apples in the middle.
• 'Gio-Serum' - A concoction created by a member of Gio-Corp as a joke, it is a consumable non-addictive substance that is very disliked for its taste. Most uses of the 'serum' results in vomiting, and it provides no benefits other than bragging rights for being able to down it for good.
• Sugarwater - Codename for a corrosive substance that is created from certain sugars, it is used in highly destructive biological weapons and can be used as a stimulant for certain lifeforms. It was originally supposed to be used to collect sugar and store it as simple liquid. Consumption of the chemical can result in a range of effects, including helpful effects like increased energy, to harmful effects, like sickness from an overload of sugar. Despite its usually tendency to cause the consumer to become sick, it is addictive due to the sugar rush it can cause.

Spoiler: List of Characters and species

I have no idea where to put the species part, so I put it with characters. Hope you don't mind.
Unique Species:

• Narrators/Voiceless - Despite their main and extreme powers within their respective worlds, all Narrators with the exception of Animus Viral loses all their powers within Amos Viren. This is due to the Ultimatium and Animus Viral's Magic Pen limiting their powers. Narrators here that aren't Animus Viral are known as the Voiceless, for their inabilities to do anything in this multiverse. They are usually expelled from the multiverse unless allowed to stay.
• Observers - A species built to learn and drain information, then to imitate, these biomechanical drones are able to take over living creatures' bodies and use them to better themselves, for good or for worse. They hunger for information and will do almost anything to get it, as a result of their command to search for 'bullies' and to find any and all information on where the 'bullies' may hide. They are named for what they usually do, observe. They are originally created Issac Malodor, and the Observers refer to him as 'The Machine', for his role of being the 'machine' that produces Observers and the original creator.
• Eater Siren - Sirens that disguise as green skinned women to allure prey to them, only to turn into a tentacle massed monster. It then captures its prey and consumes them. They, oddly enough, usually appear on dry land.
• Sapient Mascots - Beings that protect certain teams, usually outside of Amos Viren instead of in it, in order to prevent overpowered things from happening to them.

Spoiler: Sapient Mascots

Yeah, a lot of stuff I made about this.
The Sapient Mascots are entities that protect a certain team. They are usually masks, but can be otherwise seen in other forms.

Abilities
These are mainly abilities that are common to all mascots.
Level based Abilities: These are abilities that require Mascots levels(referred to as “level” or "levels" almost entirely when with the context of mascot) in order to use. Mascot levels are capped at three (3).
Second Chance Empowerment - Only active if the Mascot has at least one level, they have the ability to grant team members one extra hit point which takes all the damage from one attack and two extra hit points if the team member somehow gains another. When the mascot takes a hit for a team member, their level will decrease by one. During Second Chance Empowerment, if the being with the mascot gets two levels of the mascot, the mascot will then turn a gold color or start to glimmer. In this state, the mascot can take a single hit before reverting into their original state, giving them the ability to take two complete hits total. Hits do not include falling into holes, crushed by boulders, etc. Hits also does not include attacks specifically used against mascots. If the mascot is taking the hit for an attack that is specifically for someone else other than a mascot or is an AOE (Area of Effect) attack, it is included as a hit, and will block the damage for the one character.
Invulnerability Empowerment - They have the power to grant temporary invincibility and damages all the enemies the protected being touches when 3 levels of the mascot is achieved. Once duration of this ability is over, the mascot will decrease by one level, resulting in the gold colored or sparkling mascot. During Invulnerability Empowerment, if the being with the mascot gains another level of the mascot while having the golden or shimmering mascot, it will activate the invulnerability, in which if the mascot is a mask, it will press themselves against the user's face, or if they are something else, the mascot will circle their protected being rapidly, allowing the user to become invincible for a short amount of time. Time is usually around a half page. Either a chant, laughter, or some noise is heard when a mascot has activated Invulnerability Empowerment. After the activation noise happens, certain music will play from the mascot, only to the user. The music that plays depends on which mascot the being is using.
Other Abilities:
Teleportation - They have the power to transport themselves and others, though, they can only take other people so far, whereas by themselves, they can transport out into space and even to different dimensions.
Light Source - They have the ability to turn clear and glow.
Hovering - They have the ability to hover magically.
Energy Attacks - They can also use their energy to form beams or explosions.
Durability - Some mascots be used as a shield in order to defend from incoming attacks, including those of titans. However, this is limited as they cannot block all damage from a hit unless they have a mascot level. They can still be used as shields however, and can block 50% of damage when used as a shield. This is only active if the mascot does not have any levels.
Sensory Tracking - They can sense members of their allied team. The range of this is unknown.
Anti-Friendly Fire - They can protect members of their allied team when they get a mask power-up. The mascot also protects their allied team's members so that they can't fall victim to most of their own weapons. This is deactivated in friendly battles.

Gaining a mascot level
In order to increase the mascot's level, you must do one of these:
Breaking a mascot crate - A reference to Crash Bandicoot, by breaking a crate with the mascot's face or appearance on it will increase the mask's level. They can only be broken once, and cannot be counterfeited by drawing or painting the mascot on it. The crates will not respawn and cannot be carried, as any touch from those eligible for the mascot's powers (Meaning no mobs or bosses) will break them instantly. These are mainly placed by map makers.
Crafting - Crafting a sigil specifically made for the Mascot is possible, however, they are instantly consumed once crafted and cannot be stored. Crafting one of each will cause the mask to increase in level only by one and is capped at one. This is only to summon the mascot and is not supposed to be used for godmodding. Once one of these are crafted, there is a time limit of five (5) pages before being able to craft it again.
Illuminati - There is a very low chance that the Illuminati mascot can grant itself a level. It will only increase its level by 1.
Elemental Random Drops - It is possible to randomly gain a level by destroying elementals. However, it will only work if the being who is gaining the level is the one who defeats the elemental. Only one can drop for each respective mascot for 20 pages.
Time - They refill their levels every 5 pages. They cannot exceed level 2 with this refilling, to prevent them from automatically activating Invulnerability Empowerment.
Other - There are other ways to obtain mascot levels, but depend on the Mascot.

Weakness
There is a status effect known as Stasis which can render mascots unavailable to use any ability until the status effect goes away. Stasis can only be gotten rid of through use of a Purify Potion or by waiting it out. Stasis does not lower mascots levels, but locks their abilities in place.

Trivia stuff
The Mascot concept was based off of Aku Aku and Uka Uka's role in CNK being able to block friendly fire entirely. Mascots can only protect sapient and/or sentient entities. They will not protect mindless mobs or bosses. Mascots' abilities or levels cannot be transferred to other beings, meaning you cannot pass levels to other characters just so they can gain levels and trigger Invulnerability Empowerment.
This also means every character can have different amounts of levels, even if they are on the same team. Meaning character 1 can have all 3 levels, activating Invulnerability Empowerment, while character 2 doesn't have any levels, etc. etc. Mascots can appear in multiple locations at once, allowing multiple mascots of the same team to be active, but only one out of all of them can speak to their user. They all will have an interconnected mind, allowing for slow but possible communications. They cannot play recordings or transmit messages like a phone, only as a messenger by word of mouth.
The first appearance of a mascot is Ex-PO. However, he was not considered a mascot at the time.
Ex-PO was also the original placeholder mascot for non-affiliated characters controlled by Animus Viral. However the position was taken by the KITC Mask instead.
One character cannot have two or more mascots, despite being on both or more team. They can only have one. They cannot swap mascots while they have mascot levels unless they are willing to lose the mascot levels.
When two teams are allied, the mascots will prevent friendly fire on both sides.

I'll flesh out these characters with dedicated stories to them when I have the time. I organized them in alphabetical order.

Spoiler: Factions

This includes factions active and inactive but does not include factions that aren't unique to this world unless their lore have been tweaked immensely.

• Gio-Corp - Creators of the Gio-Steel, this corporation is the rival company of Vo Industrial Laboratories. They specialize in making their materials that are used in their gadgets, tools, and construction items quite durable, and able to withstand time far better than Vo Industries' tech.
• Vo Industrial Laboratories - Headed by the mysterious CEO known only as 'Vo', they control highly advanced military technology and as a cover up, automobile parts and construction.
• AC/IA - A faction known for medieval-like armor and their chaotic creations, they are headed by three 'generals', each of which attribute their imagination to creating these horrors of technology. Thanks to this variation of technology and strategy, it is quite hard to predict how to defeat them, but their weakness lies within their technology they so love to make.
• F-Stop Laboratories - A splinter faction coming from Aperture Science. Despite their losses, given their interdimensional presence, they have not yet been completely ridden yet.
• Twilight Sun - A mercenary faction, destroyed by Zyglak. Only one known member remains.

And is rumored to be holding some pieces of alien technology, though, who knows?
• Ekat - An elite hacker group, known to take jobs from almost any source, is known for causing chaos involving Vo Industrial Laboratories' operating system 'Vo-OS'. The leader of the group is known only as Ekat, and has developed the EkatOS for their members to use.
• Rabbot Squad - A mercenary faction, combined with the Rabbit Team from LC, they serve as one of the largest mercenary factions out there. Myo and Rabbotnik share leadership of the faction, though they almost never see eye to eye in most of their conversations.

So there's my lore. It's not in a story form, so sorry if you wanted to read it in that format, but, well sorry. I have quite a lot for some odd reason, but what are you going to do? Welp. Time to keep working on it, or actually do something useful. Either way, hope you enjoyed it.

If wanted, I can make lore for you. Just beware I won't accept all requests.

Spoiler

The Burrows

Spoiler

This is canonical, since it appears in Calamity Adventure, and despite using Plague in its lore, it uses a specific strain/species of Plague unique to only me.
Also is based off of a Fallout cut content, so if it seems familiar, that's why.
The Burrows.
Top Dwellings are adobe type buildings clustered around a dead tree, which serves as the town hall.
This is the center circle. The outer semi circle of the settlement looks like simple earth, but is actually where the rest of the population lives, known as the Dens. The back part of the semi circle is a river. The river is intoxicated, but through old water purifiers, they got somewhat clean, but grimy water.

Plague Animals
Known to be animals from a sacred place they call "the Lake", they are mutated creatures that look like raccoons able to sustain themselves against the Plague by quickly regenerating their flesh. This caused most of them to go insane of the pain, but those who were able to bear the pain, ignored the pain, after a while though.
They can only be killed by being shot in the head.

For a while, they were peaceful. They grew intellectually thanks to the Lake's mysterious properties. They brought a good many items and devices from the Lake, technologically advanced tools and objects. However, ever since a cave collapse occurred, they were not able to go to the Lake anymore.
At first, they built shelters like mankind. It might look like a human city, but the things inside were not. The leader of the "Creatures of the Lake" allowed them to take joy in their animalistic side, allowing buildings to built out of just twigs and sticks.
However, they were too curious for their own good. Upon a scouting patrol seeing creatures that had the Plague as a parasite, they welcomed them, only to be killed. Only one made it out alive.

From then, a split occurred. Those who wanted to protect themselves built the Dens, rigging traps along the way.
Those who believed in some tech stayed up top, while those who were still animalistic when underground.
Yet, despite the split, they didn't argue. Even though the leader was their leader, the others could do what they want, as much as they pleased, as long they don't violate a few simple rules.
It basically stated that no creature of the Lake could harm or kill a fellow creature unless a crime has happened done onto them. This did not restrict contests of strength, however.
Property belongs to everyone. Homes and territories however, were based on animalistic tendencies. Unauthorized entry must be reported to the head council. The perpetrator will then be ostracized for one moon. (One month)

Some years passed, and they grew prouder and fiercer. The Den Dwellers(Those who lived in the Den) drove away or killed any and all entities that were not a creature of "the Lake".
Of course, after a time, they slowly faded away from memories. Their anonymity protected them, and did not get anyone coming after them. Given that the source of food being creatures who intruded was out, they began to farm. Of course, these plants were toxic to those not of "the Lake", as a small amount of "the Lake's" water was used to fertilize the soil. This resulted in a plant that had fruits that were a hard shell, used to slow down the decay from Plague or other diseases.

The Lake is a part of a religion, of course, those who look for the Lake almost never comes back. The religion evolved over time, from a toxic mutating lake full of radiation, to a lake of life, from which they thought all life came from. However, intent on finding the truth of this, several creatures of the Lake was able to enter the Lake's area after a long time of digging, and was severely wounded by it. Only one remained after that. When the sole creature came back... They simply said that "The Lake is not of life, only death."

Which brings us, to now. Given that statement, it cause quite a stir. The Den Dwellers part of the creatures of the Lake believed in the Lake's magical properties with all their hearts, while the Top Dweller believe that the dying creature of the Lake was proof that the Lake was not of Life but some other crazy monstrous creation by the Plague. Now that they were in turmoil about this, they wished to see any proof from the Wastelands. Therefore, they allowed those who did not mindlessly come charging after them to enter. For now...

The Plague was in the religion as well, though it could clearly be seen. It was said to be a punishment by the Den Dwellers, but by the Top Dwellers, they just saw it as the result of crazy insane creatures of the Lake who changed over the years.

And before you people come after me, I know, the Plague was made by Yharim's Forces (Or in Artheus's case, a god's blood), these creatures however, don't know that. So they see it as so.

Current Situation:
A religious conflict, between those who believe in the Lake, and those who are skeptical. The situation is becoming volatile. They are looking for information, and are attempting to be welcoming to any potential proof. Of course, they aren't doing a good job with that.

The creatures can speak and read in English, due to the Plague's rampage not getting some books or literature, however, their vocabulary is limited. They prefer to speak in their normal language, which might seem like gibberish to humans.

Planeswalk End?

Spoiler

This is canonical, and takes place after the end of Planeswalk.
Prologue:
A message for those who know.
You know how much I put into this? How much I sacrificed for all of you to enjoy?
No one seems to care.
No one seems to give a damn.
I kept making. I kept getting tired.
I built everything, all for you.
And what do you do?
Cheat, lie, destroy, and everything I tell you not to.
I tried so hard. I tried to keep making. But when you drew the last straw...
You made me shatter. You broke everything. My world. My work.
All for what? Some chance to galavant around which doesn't last you the entire day!?
Look at the scorched earth, the salted world, the crushed dreams! Can you really say it was worth it?
I gave you everything. I gave you every chance to redeem yourself. But you never cared.
You only told me what I wanted to hear, only so when I turn my back, you could blast my back to smithereens.
Do you even have a hint of regret on you, or are you smiling, going along as if it was still all okay, all the while everyone suffers.
It's not right. And it will never be right.
You missed your chance.
You missed.
...
But maybe...

Chapter 1:
Smile

"A smile."
Phoenix sat on a comfortable log as she said that quietly. Phoenix looked like she was wearing a nightmare. She has heterochromia, two differently colored irises, represented by her left iris being dark red while her right iris is bright yellow. She has long hair that colored grey/gray but it appeared to change shade at certain points. She is light skinned, and can be described as constantly pale. On her back, she has one wing sticking out of her left side of her back which is colored black and has yellow, piercing eyes that never close on it.
She wears a red, long sleeved, almost plain shirt with a large, yellow, oval eye below the collar and below it is a monstrous mouth with sharp teeth that can open up to consume objects which appears as an odd wrinkle or as a slightly darker red star shape on the shirt when it's closed. She wears a large black coat or jacket with bandages strapped across it, with sharp, bloodstained white feathers on the sleeves. The fur collar part of the coat is black, with more yellow, round, gazing eyes on it. On the back of the coat is a symbol of one main eye contained in a red diamond shape in the middle, a balance behind the diamond contained eye with a white feather in both scales, only the left in above the right scale despite both feathers being the same, with more yellow eyes above, and teeth lined at the bottom of it. Parts of the symbol is covered up by bandages that are on her coat. She wears black pants, with even more bandages. She wears dark gray boots with crimson red socks underneath. Unlike the rest of her outfit, the boots and socks are nothing special and are plain.
She smiled again and repeated, "A smile."

"What?"
Said a voice, across from her.
She merely smiled and replied, "A smile, of course. My Sep... er... clone and your Spark Doubles should easily take out the rest of the Sea Reaper Scourge while we wait."
The voice responded, annoyed, "Now what? We just sit here? It's been a waste of time."
"No, it wasn't. I paid for the price of silence. We have all the time in the world. Here, alone, in this forest. Vincent. Look at me."
The man across from Phoenix, known as Vincent looked at Phoenix in the face. He simply appears to be not amused at this. Vincent wears a black-red cloak and robes with a metal mask and a illusion of perpetual shadow that conceals his face. He also wears a cape with a symbol of a handprint-like symbol with a dragon within emblazoned on the back of the cape. A belt is worn on his torso, with a gem close to his heart. He also has two energy gauntlets concealed under his sleeves, though Phoenix could clearly see them at the moment.
Recently, they had just escaped from a world collasping for some unknown reason, and recovered Vincent memories, and sent two 'clones' of themselves to fight off Sea Reapers after Vincent temporarily panicking about them from recovering his memories. Now, tension fills the air.
She continued, "Look, I know it took me a while to recover your memories, but you have to understand-"
Vincent abruptly yelled at Phoenix,"No! Those memories were mine to recover by myself. I would have probably be more accepting if I could have learned and accepted each individual memory myself. Instead you flood my head with them, opening scars that were closed."
"I- I'm sorry, okay? Look, you just looked like you needed help, and look, that world we met, it's gone. Cyan, the wyvern, the general-"
Vincent decided to correct Phoenix, "Faressain. That's his name. The general, I mean."
"Faressain... They are all gone. Maybe not completely, seeing we survived, but that world, it no longer exists. It's... dead. So, I thought, to get you over the destruction of that world, I could try to help you, and the only way I knew, well thought, I could help you was to help you recover your memories."
Vincent simply looked away, but when the forest was pitch black, save the seemingly everlasting lantern that Phoenix had, and the only eyes were her, Vincent had no choice than to face Phoenix again.
"...Well, now it's your turn."
"W-What?"
"You know my memories. Show me yours."
"I-I don't think that's a good idea."
"Come on, balance things. Besides, how do you even do that stuff?"
Phoenix was silent. Silent for a long time, until she decided to speak again.
"...I... don't... look... It's not a good idea. If you saw what happened to me... It would... It might turn you into me. And the way I would do it... it's not completely pretty."
Silence filled the air. It wasn't hidden that Phoenix was insane, to an extent, since when Vincent and Phoenix first met, Phoenix was writing the word 'MANAGER' over and over again with something acting as chalk onto a walk of an old ruin.
Vincent broke the silence, "Look, maybe I can understand, or at least try, you got my memories, and you seem to understand them."
"But you're not me..." Phoenix sighed and tried to change the subject, "Lotus Mox. The universe you were born in. I remember that about your memories. I once studied some religious culture there when I visited it while I looked to cure others."
"So? What does that have to do with me?"
"Do you know what history you have with that world? Any key events?"
"No, I wasn't good in history, I liked working with aether though."
"Who are you, if you do not know your history?"
"Look, why are we talking about history?"
"Because Lotus Mox has something you never knew."
"That's obvious with every world."
"...Well. That's true and all, but... nevermind. I don't think... it's right to say anymore."
"I don't see any point in hanging around in this place anymore."

Vincent gets up from his seat on a log.
"Besides, despite your price of silence, there is more than to put yourself in loneliness."

Phoenix faintly and sadly smiled.
"Heh. You remind me of..."
Phoenix stopped herself.
"Of... ugh... he left too."

"Who?"
"Not important. The Master might reform."
"Who? You're going to make me into an owl."
"The Master. He, she, it, whatever you wanted to say they are, they are a constant force that exist in the world. The last Master was known as 'Tarkhzaluth'. I was the one who put an end to him. But I fear he might return in some other form."
"...I'm assuming he didn't give kisses and puppies."
"They wanted to destroy existence. They used Elements. Not exactly what you'd see, like fire and such, but Elements that were a crucial part of the universe they were in. The Master was a part of well, if you believe it, a higher being. Ani-"
"I don't want to hear any lessons about religion, thank you very little."
"...Well, the Master was his grief. His motivation, and suffering. The Master represented the worse he could be. It always represented his motivation to go forward. You know those games where people always want to be the hero? Well, the Master is the person who is always put in the villain spot. That's the reason why the Master exists. Every time we... anyone kills the Master, they come back. The Master always is recreated, be it through mind or ideals or whatever. They'll always come back. Called the Master, because they are the mastermind behind everything, constantly reliving that same defeat, that same scheme, that same everything, just to destroy existence. Maybe why the Master wants to destroy existence is so the Master can no longer exist either. I guess, in that aspect, I can relate."
"...You like having empathy with people who like to utterly destroy worlds?"
Phoenix bursted with anger.
"How would you feel if you had to do the same thing, over and over, with no end in sight, put through pain and suffering again and again!"
Phoenix stopped for a moment, her voice or tone growing somber.
"You'd try to find a way to end it, you'd try to stop, you'd try to get to the finale, so you don't have to do anymore."
Vincent put his hand on Phoenix to try to calm her down.
"Look, Phoenix, I know you have seen a lot, but..."
He trailed off. He really had no words to help calm her down. How could he find the words?
Phoenix shook her head and looked down.
"It's pointless. We just keep doing the same thing. Da capo. Over and over again."
"...Maybe because no one cared before, but look, I care for you."
"Did you care that I got you your memories back?"
"...I... look, I know how hard it is to be down on your luck, I might not know what you are feeling right now, but I can still help. I'm still your friend."
A brief reflection of Phoenix appeared, as if it was her before becoming everything she was now. As she looked up, it was noticable that she cried.
"...Really?"
As abruptly the reflection appeared, it disappeared. She sniffled.
"Right. People once tried to stop the Master before me, collected some Elements, they stopped for some reason. Now, we aren't going to mess with the prime world of theirs, we are going to need to get at the equivalent in Amos Viren. The Rabiah Planes could easily have something that we are looking for."
"Right, and how are we going to do that?"
"Easy. We can planeswalk. We are planeswalkers, after all."
"Well, you lead the way."
Phoenix gripped Vincent's hand, and in two bursts of energy, one simular to a storm and the other with the curse of blessing so long ago, they walked away from the Black Forest.


Chapter 2"
Zayin

"You've heard of the tale. The tale of an adventure, filled with Calamity.
A tale filled with sorrow and happiness.
A tale with almost no end, until now..."
The Shadows, fulfilling their Chief's orders, improved all of their weapons, and began to patrol the surrounding areas heavily, yet silently. Ever since the Titans fell, they no longer wished to just hold the peace, they wished to spread it by any means. Now, they have begun squandering over any technology outsiders have, in fear of having destructive technology that could risk disturbing the peace. Nonetheless, they became more military based, and began to enforce the laws that the Shadows have made. Using the SMT machines that they had and their ability to turn coins into usable materials, they built a new nation, known only as 'Zayin', using survivors from the plagued north as population, while the military Shadow bases hid within them. Technology like Plague Fusion Nanos can now be seen patrolling the city, keeping the Plague at bay.
The mysterious mercenary fleet of CabnVPR resurfaced, for the main fleet had not be destroyed. Once they regrouped, they hunted down the Zetans and Martian forces that took the deaths of their members. Now the skies were filled with color and light, for a war has begun.
The failure of stopping the Plague so long ago left the world to rot. It has spread, eventually culminating into Plague Fusion, a substance that began overtaking the world. Now, many civilizations up north have become similar to a civilization that lives in the Plagued Wastelands, the Burrows.
Now, the place we are looking for, a place of legend... The cabin, the fortress, the base laid dormant, with its inhabitants always staying inside, never reaching out for the outer worlds, always hiding within the base. The creators of this place wished to build the safest place on Earth. As such, the interior housed a large amount of long lasting supplies, all thanks to their inhabitants and potion brewing, which would allow anyone who stayed inside to survive for a very long period of time. But the shelter, while perfectly safe inside, alters the perception of the outside to be even more hopeless. It literally becomes, 'The safest place on Earth.' They no longer wanted to be outside. They no longer wanted to ever see the sun again. They isolated themselves. They may have been bored, but they were safe, and that was the reason why they stayed inside. The base's location is unknown to us as of now.
With the the calamity that had befallen this world, the world has been put into a disarray of conflicts. Who knew what was going there? Who... survived? What... happened to all of... Will we ever know...? But with all tales, whether complete or not, they must end.
It has been at least two decades. Maybe more, since that tale has ended."

Vincent walked around the alleyway they planeswalked to.
"Phoenix, why are you trying to tell me a tale, a legend that might as well be false. And why can't we just send clones again."
"I know it as truth. Look. Zayin, named after the least threatening risk level ever. Plus, do you really think you have enough mana to create another clone again so soon? Come on, we need to gain information about where the 'Safest Place on Earth' is."

The two walked out of the alley, to find a busy street. Patrolled by Nanos and Shadow guards to police the city. The city was in perpetual darkness, for the Plague has attempted time, and time again to destroy this city, and the ongoing war of the Zetans and the space pirates, as their remains fall down to the earth. As they ventured deep into the city, the small nation of Zayin, they saw dystopia, people looking for meals to eat, tightly enforced security, and dark gothic buildings.

"Seems... dreary."
"Yeah, Vincent... This reminds me of... where I almost lived in."
"Hmm...?"
"...It's complicated. But, I would agree that it's hard to find people who would know about the base. Look around."
"Well, I'm looking around, and there is a few people who could tell us."
"Who?"
"Look around. The Shadows themselves. They control everything. They must know where this base is!"
Phoenix's wing twitched. It was a simple sign of discomfort.
"Vin, how are we even going to get them to tell us?"
"Simple, we have to get to the man himself."
"The man?"
"Yes. Tektus. He runs Zayin. We need to find a way to him."
"Um... well, how are we going to get a way to him without seeming... violent."
"You make a good point."
"Maybe doing some government work or something will get his attention."
"Yeah. Let's find whatever main building this place has."

After a bit of wandering, they found the main building. Vincent simply walked to the receptionist and said, "Any jobs that we can do?"
The receptionist was a machine. It looked almost like all the other guards. It then came to Vincent, they were machines, the guards, everyone who was a part of the Shadows, they were machines! Was Tektus a machine as well?
The receptionist simply said,"Yes, a plethora of them."
"Er... Any that requires like... a lot of work?"
Vincent thought that more work would mean a higher chance of getting to see Tektus, though he wasn't too sure. It might burden him and Phoenix.
"Eradication of Plague Fusion creatures. Is this a continuous job or numbered job?"
"Numbered."
"How many days?"
"Er... Two?"
"Got it. See Commander Tektus for more information."
Vincent thought, Wait... This easy? Well, not expecting that.
"Right, where?"
"Door to your left."
"Right. Come on Phoenix."

Both went to the door that lead to Commander Tektus's office. They saw a person in combat armor, but his face was clearly seen in his helmet. Was he human, or was he machine, or maybe both?
Tektus welcomed them,"Ah, yes. I received a notification about your accepting the job. Given it's literally a few meters away from where you applied, it's not a really an achievement of greatness or whatever. What can I help you with?"
"Er... yes... We need information about the base, the 'Safest Place on Earth'."
"...What do you need then?"
"Do you know where it is?"
"Well, I mean, that's a legend, and..."
"There were people living there. They were trying to stop a large threat, then they stopped. We need to find out what happened to them."
"... Stop a large threat?"
"Yes, the Master."
Tektus simply stared at Vincent and Phoenix.
"Ah, been a while since I saw that name. Only found it on old data from where you are looking for. Hmm... So, I'm guessing you're not going to do the job?"
"Er... Well, we can still get rid of any Plague...Fusion creatures?"
"...Here."
Tektus prints out a document and gives it to Phoenix. It held coordinates for the so called 'Safest place on earth'.
"Second would have wanted this. He never felt right about that place. Maybe the results will give him some rest. Please, come back when you're done. I'd like for you to tell me about how they are doing."
"Well, we'll do that. Though, it seems everyone here is just..."
Phoenix interjects,"They seem like they are dying."
Tektus sat up in his chair, "I know. But we are trying, but the Plague Fusion creatures don't drop much Terrarian coins anymore. Without coins, we have no way to produce items that fast and cleanly, since growing food is futile, since the Plague keeps razing them. But, that base, that place could be our hope. If you find any resources to help Zayin, bring it here, and help everyone here."
Phoenix nodded, "Yes, we'll do that."

With that, both Vincent and Phoenix left for the base. Who knew what was going on there, but they were going to find out either way.
And so, they began the journey to the 'Safest Place on Earth.'


Chapter 3:
Home, sweet shattered hopes.

They found a large complex, littered with other complexes around it that were empty. The Plague didn't seem to get too far here, since the many antics that have happened in the past has kept the Plague away.
Oddly enough, they found someone right at the door.

Phoenix frowned and said,"Hey! What are you doing all the way out here?"
The being seemed to shift forms, from some cloaked little child like being to an armored humanoid creature. Vincent could easily see that the child was a mere illusion, and that the armored being was the true form of whoever this was.
The being spoke softly, "Simple. Looking after what was before..."
The being trailed off, so Phoenix decided to probe more about this being, "Er... Who are you? And what do you mean before?"
The being was clearly disturbed by the sudden interjection, but they simply nodded, "Yeah, might as well, Velika. Velika Teridax. Those who... live or used to live in this place knew me only by my last name. As for why I am here... It's... a long story."
Phoenix smiled, attempting to show a friendly gesture, "Well, I am Phoenix, and this is my friend, Vincent. We want to get inside the base, so we can find out what happened to them, and perhaps help Zayin before it crumbles to nothingness."
Velika sadly gestured to the door. It was one of the doors that were just like you would see in a bank vault. "They... They closed themselves in. They did not want to deal with the outside world anymore. They just wanted to be in peace in the base. They never left. They never opened the door. They just sit around, even when bored, because it's safe, it feels safe in there, and they don't want to leave. Maybe... at least I hope... They decided to finally leave that place while the door here is closed. That base, in search for something else. Maybe they could have used one of the portals to leave that place and shake off that feeling of being in that cursed place, to finally cut free of the prison that felt so safe. But for now, I regret building that cabin. I should have never allowed it to exist. I should have never condemned them to that agoraphobia."
Velika clearly regrets building the base, and contributing to it, for now, the inhabitants just walled themselves off from the outside world, with no light to reach inside. A moment of silence lasts.
Until Vincent decided to break it, "Have you tried to get in?"
"The walls are no longer made of normal materials. They did everything to shield themselves. They used all their powers to keep each other safe. A bit... too well."
Phoenix walked to the door. She scanned the materials, seeing anything that could be of use. She sighs, and breathes in and out, preparing for something. "For you, magic girl."
Vincent noticed her at the door, "Phoenix, what are you-?"
Phoenix immediately chanted the following words: "O, the azure justice, the crimson love, In the name of the one buried in destiny, I shall make an oath to the light, that we will show those who stand in front of us the power of love. In the name of hatred and love! ARCANA BLAST!"
With that, magical energy was summoned, symbols forming a pink circle in front of Phoenix, and with it summons a powerful radiant blast of energy. Energy that wasn't Phoenix's. Though the blast was bright, the vault door barely budged for a few moments. Then it began to creak and crumble. Soon the energy came smashing through the door, and faded away. Exhausted from the attack, Phoenix collapsed.
"Phoenix! Phoenix, what were you doing?" Vincent is clearly worried, and decides to lay Phoenix to the side of a wall for support.
Velika was stunned and shocked at the sudden outburst of power, but he needed to check on the inside to make sure no one else got hurt than Phoenix in that attack. Almost immediately as Velika stepped into the doorframe, a blast of purple energy came at him, missing him barely. Velika backed to the side of the doorframe, not in the way where an attack could get him.
"Vincent and Phoenix, we have a bit of a situation. I can confirm that there is something hostile inside there. If we don't deal with it, it might become worse for us."
"Sorry Phoenix, going to have to leave you hanging for a while."
Both Vincent and Velika bursted through the doorway, immediately going separate ways before another blast of purple energy was fired. The person who fired it was easily seen. He had purple hair, and black, shadow armor, with a runic sword filled with dark energy. Quickly realizing that he would not be able to use the doorway as a chokepoint to fire his blasts at, he stopped and assumed a defensive stance.
The shadow being smiled, "So, I came here to conquer this world, and what do I find? My weak version of myself fled."
The being laughed, but his expression quickly was changed into one with scorn and hate, "But now, this world is no longer conquerable. Not without losses against whatever the heck this plague is. Truly disappointing. I decided to look and see if those who lived here were competent enough to have anything that could let my people take this damned world over. But it seems like I can't do that."

A sense of corruption fills the air. Suspense is nearing its climax.

"People will lose interest. The bills will remain unpaid. The ghosts will pass on. The establishment will fall to ruin. And since you are here, so will you. It will be a service to what was meant to happen, what would have happen if they just let us instead of putting up a fight."
With that, the being attacked, lunging towards Vincent, thinking he was an easy target, given Vincent's seemingly lack of armor. Vincent responded to the attack with using his two gauntlets, using elemental electricity to shock the attacker. Despite being slowed by electricity, the attacker did not stop in his charge. Velika hurled a blast of pure shadow at the attacker, which was shrugged off as if it was a mere annoyance. As the dark enemy reached Vincent, Vincent swapped his elements to fire, burning the attacker and obstructing his vision with flames. The attacker tumbled over and fell on the ground, and got back up almost immediately. Two other dark enemies joined the battle, hitting Velika in the chest and taking Vincent by surprise. Using his gauntlets again, he shot arcs of electricity all around near him, disarming the attacker that came behind him. As Vincent whirled around to see the attacker, the attacker looked exactly like the first attacker, as if they were clones. Velika charged and smashed the third attacker with his staff, only for this attacker to aim at Velika's legs, knocking him over. Phoenix, still weakened, got up from her spot to investigate what was happening. But upon seeing the battle, she muttered to herself, but to anyone else, it was inaudible.

Vincent, dealing with two of the attackers, was not okay. They had the edge of numbers. As he knocked one down, the other simply attacked from behind and gave enough time for the other to recover. Velika, after getting up, responded in quick succession with multiple jabs and slashes with his staff to the attacker, who still was able to get up and keep fighting. Now, Phoenix, seemingly transformed, with a black suit with a black jacket with a yellow outline along with white bandages strapped to it, with a blindfold made of gauze, joined in the battle. Her sword immediately stuck the back of the attacker closest to her, the first attacker. Wincing in pain, the first attack whirled around and began heavily slashing with Phoenix.
As the battle went on, sparks flew everywhere, either from Vincent's electrical attacks or from Phoenix's sword duel. Vincent had a back and forth predicament, each able to recover from attack that the other dished out. All that this battle depended on was who could last longer. Phoenix and the first attacker constantly traded thrusts, slashes, jabs, swings, and many more attacks. Velika and the third attacker kept fighting as well, though Velika was finally able to overpower the attacker using energy and effect disks that he created just like in his home world. Downing and angrily smashing the attacker to pieces, Velika rushed to help Vincent in their fight. Phoenix was finally able win the duel against their attacker, as a slash to the hand was enough pain to cause the attacker to let go of their sword, allowing Phoenix to subdue them. With the help of Velika, Vincent was able to subdue and capture the second attacker. With that, the battle subsided.

"Ugh... I don't want... to ever get into such a battle again," groaned Vincent.
Phoenix became Phoenix once more, and her appearance reverted back to what was considered normal for her. She almost collapsed, but was able to keep herself on her feet.
Velika help the attacker down, binding him with metal from the destroyed vault door.
Velika smiled, "There, our little friendly neighborhood killer is now locked up in chains."
The attacker growled, "There are many agonies you have yet to feel. You aren't going to win, not yet..."

A voice, unfamiliar to all, spoke, "Well, seems like you dealt with every psycho here."
After finished speaking, a mist is seen, coalescing into a ghost like creature, in the form of the attacker, though its color scheme was not the same, and definitely way more see through than the attacker.
The mist creature spoke again, "Congrats. I would have helped, but if it weren't for my abilities, I would have probably made it worse. I am Beleren, a mistform ultimus."

Vincent, utterly confused, simply remarked, "What...?"
Phoenix, now more balanced, asked, "What happened here, and to everyone who live here before?"

The mist creature smiled sadly, "Why, they are gone of course. The man who I am in the form of, and whatever these evil versions of him are, well the original him, I think, left for his home world. He lost most of his gear in the progress though, leaving remnants of it here. The invisible dragon that appeared once just left. Don't know where, and don't know when. Sounds like a song. Anyways, next, hmmm... The two twins, I never kept tabs on. The schoolgirl left with a plant thing to a secret home. And that's basically everyone. There was a snake, and a few others, but they aren't of much importance, since I never really saw them around here much."
Vincent asked, "Wait, secret home? Where?"
The mist creature simply chuckled for a moment before becoming stoic, "Why, it's a secret of course. I'm not sure what happened, but they just left, that's all. Everyone left, as time went on. I don't keep track of everyone, since what do you expect from a mist? I believe the man I have the form I have now left last, but not too sure."
Velika sigh with relief. Seems everyone leaving this place was good enough for him. They didn't have to stay in here forever.
Phoenix tried to be friendly, "Any help with searching this place?"
"Sorry love, but too large for me. You're going to have to search yourself. Be careful, the place has started to crumble as time went on."
"Right, well, Vincent, let's go."
Velika smiled at the ruins, relieved of his guilt of creating this place, and said, "Well, I'll see you all later. I just had to know was that those who I knew were somewhere else other than here. Anyways, if fate lets us, may we meet again."
With that, Velika leaves.
"Well, back to the two of us."
"Yeah, Phoenix, come on. We got to find if any trace of whatever these people were doing to stop the Master and probably get some resources for Zayin."
They searched through the base. The storage room was devoid of much useful materials, most scrap was taken a long time ago. The living quarters seemed empty, but did not bother to check, since it isn't right to go through people's more personal possessions. Then the kitchen, which doesn't seem to be used that much anymore. There was a damaged floor, leading to a hidden laboratory, but despite being hidden, had nothing of value in it. There was then the Arc, a larger laboratory that even had a cryogenic storage, and a large amount of potion like chemicals, with a heavy mist over it. The mistform reappeared from the mist.
"Hey! So, you're back. Well, you're not supposed to be here, since I'm kinda doing my business. Since, ya know, absorbing chemicals to slowly grow into the mist you see before you."
Vincent simply now felt awkward, "Right... Well, come on, Phoenix."

Chapter 4:
Memories

Despite their attempts, all they found was simply the Staff of Creosi. Nothing else worth noting. And not much supplies to even help Zayin. They informed Tektus of the current state of the 'Safest Place on Earth', as well as bringing the captured attacker. The attacker was locked up in maximum security for judgement. Tektus was quite saddened at hearing about the state of the base, but wished them luck on their journey either way. Now...

Vincent was clearly disturbed by how much they had accomplished in so much time. Little to nothing.
"Come on, Vincent, smile just a little bit."
"No."

A simple campground. With just a campfire in the middle of the two of them. An uneasy tension exists between the two of them.

"Penny for them?"
Vincent said nothing.
"...If it's any consolation, I know how you're feeling."
Only the sound of the fire crackling filled the air.
"Well... Good night, Vincent."
"...Night, Phoenix."

...

The day before...

She worked for an odd company. An odd company devoted to gathering power. Not in a political or some metaphorical sense. Literal, electric power, in order to power the world she used to live in.

The odd part was, they required the help of creatures that were thought only to be seen in fairy tales or legends.

Sooner or later, the monstrous creatures who lived here became commonplace.

However... She was never truly accustomed to it.

She never saw the large chaos that happened in the other departments. All she did was doing in the research department. She just did her work, finish up harvesting E-Boxes, and got home. Even when at home, chaos followed her there in the form of neighbors who tend to blare music out of their walls.

She never really got enough sleep.

The day...

The day where everything changed.

The day where she was not herself...

ever again.

She was working on a creature, as always.
The one before this one being a masked doctor of some sort.
They spoke of a world that would be perfect, where everyone would be forgiven of their sins. She did not believe that. The doctor gave them a blessing, but with her doubt, it was able to limit the blessing's potential.

Now, she was working with a floating skull, which her co-workers said that if you were to confess to it, you would feel better. With the troubling blessing, she confessed about it to the skull.

At the same time, the rapture began. The doctor had transformed into an angelic yet monstrous creature, and those who were blessed by them turned into monstrous missionaries of destruction, one by one. When it was time for her to turn, she completed her confession. The confession caused beams of light from to strike the blessed of the doctor, including herself, and even the angelic creature, sending them back into containment. However, as she was not affected by the transformation to the monstrous missionary yet, she was spared from death, as the twelfth blessed.

However, the destruction caused by the short existence of the missionaries was still destruction, and caused havoc, releasing creatures from their rooms, and quickly spreading.

She was unconscious for most of the time. The facility was at its most highest emergency level. When she got up, the skull was still there, but it did nothing to help. She opened the door, and was shocked.

Blood... Blood splattered across the walls... And... creatures running loose... She grabbed her EGO weapon, the weapon that was issued to her for occasions like this, a scythe in a musical note... And she wanted to get out.

After going through many hallways, now that most of the other ones had been blocked, she saw her former co-workers, all driven mad by the chaos, killing each other, beating each other to death. In this hallway, only one of her own friends was left, and they charged at her. With one sweep, she beheaded her friend in an act of self-defense.

Immediately feeling guilty, she collapsed and began to weep. Mourning for her friend, and mourning for all her co-workers who she worked with. Why? Why was this happening to her? Why couldn't she have taken a sick day or something to avoid the sorrow of this disaster, and the death of their own friend?

Eyes appeared around her, but she didn't care.
Tremors of footsteps came from behind her, but she didn't care.
She had just lost... every will that she had. Everything... gone.
She simply cried.

After a few moments, she finally noticed the presence of the creature behind her. Turning around to face the creature, she wished she didn't do that the moment she saw it. She was taken that moment. She was gone. No trace left, except for her scythe, fittingly named, "Da Capo".

...

"Morning. Phoenix? Wake up sleepyhead..."
"Gah!"
Awaking from falling off of the log she was sleeping on, she looked up at Vincent, who was trying to shake her awake, merely said, "Oh, well... uh... you're awake at least. You looked... disturbed when I was waking you up."
"Yeah... Hrk... Well, could have been worse."
Phoenix got up, aching from the sudden pain.
"Well, Vincent, time to keep going. Just... keep... going. Like always."

Phoenix smiled weakly.

Chapter 6:
Searching for the answer

"Look, Phoenix, we've been taking a very long time just to get ready to fight the Master. Can't we be done with it?"
"No, we can't. We can't risk it."
Vincent goes into a random direction.
"Where are you going?"
"To get some answers!"
"Well, wait up then!"

As time went on, they prepared for the impending Master to arrive. They thought they were ready, but until one planeswalk...

They were transported to what looked like a clean white room. It had pillars like Greek or Roman culture, but had glowing technology embedded within it. At further inspection, it was just a hall. With two points of exits.

"Well, this is different, definitely."
"Yeah. Would this look like your laboratory, Vincent?"
"No, you have my memories, you should know it's a no."
"Well, I want to make sure to check what differs as my own memories and yours."
"Hmm. Well, let's see if anything good is here."

Going through one of the exits, they found a odd sight. Trees made of orange crystal like material for bark, with some white fluid for the insides of the trees, with white leaves. All of the trees glowed. It was a beautiful, yet odd sight. Past that was a village, five houses. One of the houses simply had a white room with a sack of potatoes in it. A canyon with a road going through it at the bottom, with a car completely destroyed in the middle of the road, with a sewer grate next to it. A pyramid of dirt, and inside was a world made of both primitive and advance technology. And finally, a mechanical facility that seemed to go on forever, with five people sitting in chairs around a table, but they weren't people, they were machines that were inactive.
It was like going through an infinite fever dream. A place where logic made no sense. And yet, there was no one here that was active or moving. After reaching the end of the facility, they returned to the white hallways with the pillars, though the hallways lead to different places. As both Vincent and Phoenix venture through this place, they were silent and, somehow, they knew what this world was. It was a world where hopes and dreams go to die, or be preserved to die in storage. Crushed by the reality outside of this world. It made no sense, yet made total sense to them, at the same time. It was odd. That is the only word that can describe it accurately.
After seemingly going on forever in a world filled with this silent chaos, they found a dimly lit control room, watching over the silent chaos.
Vincent broke the silence.
"So... That place, those places before..."
"What about them?"
"It felt like, nostalgia. Like a world we've seen, just... forgotten."
"That's impossible, there's no-"
"Way we can see them, I got it," Vincent finished, "It's just weird."

"Weird is one way to put it."
A person was in the doorway of the control room. Stepping into the light, it simply appeared to be a child. He simply wore a white shirt and blue shorts.

"Uh...? Who are you?" asked Phoenix, to which the child responded, "Creator of this world. But not the entire multiverse."
Vincent simply could not believe his ears, or eyes, or really anything in this moment, "What? You're telling me you made this world?"
"Why yes. I am a mere puzzle piece. A fragment of what he hoped for."
"Who is he? And what is it they hope for?"
"He is the true creator of the multiverse that you exist in. They created people like me to manage and represent him in different aspects. To answer your other question before continuing, he merely hopes for dreams, like you and I. Now, he made us to monitor you, of course, so I know who you are, Vincent. Along with you, Phoenix. And I know of your quest."
Phoenix asked the question this time, "Tell me, is the Master truly a part of whoever he is?"
"Truthfully, yes. He is the spirit of what people perceive as evil. What people assume is wrong. You've seen video games where you just get the objective to defeat the villain, with no other explanation. With the exception of the message the game gave you, how would you know they were actually a villain? Why, you could be killing innocents that are merely trying to protect their land and property. The Master represents that. They are a spirit in which all evil goes to be seen, even if evil isn't actually there. They are the scapegoat. They are the equivalent of Azazel. The one in which evil is perceived as."
"Why? Why did he make-?"
"Because, he can't escape it himself. He can't escape himself. He can't escape his own feelings, emotions, beliefs. Even if he tries to seperate them by creating people like me, they always come back to him. He tried to make the Master so he could destroy him. But in the end, the Master's purpose as the scapegoat, as a villain that always come back, always forsaken him from getting what he wanted."
"...What do you represent?"
"Why, his childhood of course. These worlds you've seen, it's not logic. It's mere imagination. He sent me here to look over them. To try to keep his childhood alive. But despite his attempts, like any childhood, I will die."
"Well... What's the point of fighting now? The Master will always come back, and-"
"Ah, but there is a point. It's for new generations. It's for the future. It's for you."
"What?"
"It's for the generations, so others can learn from it. It's for the future, so new wondrous beings, creatures, and people can exist in this multiverse. And it is for you, you, to grow, to live life, to experience happiness, to experience emotion, feelings, to become your own self, and maybe someday split away from this world and become someone else that's you, entirely. It may seem like a big amount of mumbo jumbo, but believe me, there's always a reason to keep fighting, to keep living. Trust me. You, Vincent, everyone, has potential that you haven't tapped into yet."
"But, why us?"
"Because you're special. You are made from this world. You can shape it into anything you want, of course. As time goes on, you will grow and change. You will become more and more real, in a sense. You carry something no one else has. Every one of you. Vincent, me, Velika, etc."
"This... is too much for me to handle."
"Well... Don't worry. As time goes on, you'll learn. But I wish to say one last thing."
"And what's that?"
"The Master isn't the only threat coming to this world. Or multiverse. You'll be put into worlds not even I can help you in. Your will, your strength, maturity, and other traits will be tested. By he himself, and by others who are like him, but are different in so many ways."
"..."
"Hehe, not yet of course. You have time to live. You are still in your childhood, so to speak. You must enjoy your childhood, for it only comes once per person. Unfortunately, time is running out for me. Goodbye. It was nice to see you."

The world faded around Phoenix and Vincent, only for the Black Forest, where they started, to come into view.

"...So..."
"Phoenix?"
"Yeah?"
"You believe what he said?"
"Kinda of."
"Kinda of?"
"I felt truth, and yet lies at the same time. But... Despite all that..."
"We should keep searching?"
"Yeah. But not just for the Master. For ourselves. Since if we just go waiting for the Master to come, we're just going to die out of waiting for them to come instead."
"Okay then? Well, I guess we should get experiencing the world and what it holds out there. Because what we went through was already a lot of weird twists and turns, and maybe they'd be more fun if we did it just for fun."
Vincent holds out a hand for Phoenix, to which she takes.
"Yeah, and dive in feet, or head, first! For adventure!"

And with that, they planeswalked to an unknown world.

Chapter ??:
Introspective Retrospective

Spoiler

Caution! Spoilers abound!
If you already read it, or simply don't care, then you may proceed.





Q: Do you ship Vincent and Phoenix?
A: Not completely. They do not have romantic love between them. They are only planned for platonic love, as in a friend to friend relationship. I may change my mind in the future, but for now, they are just friends til the end.

Q: Is 'he' you?
A: If referring to me myself, no.

Q: So did this happen after Planeswalk or is it the actual ending or?
A: Happened after, and use to explain what they did after the place blew up.

Q: What was about the 'Safest Place on Earth'?
A: That refers to a base, and the fact that most people in said base would rather be in it instead of venturing out and exploring.

Q: Are Phoenix and Vincent human?
A: Vincent is. Phoenix is not. But Phoenix was formerly.

Q: Is this canonical?
A: Yes.

Q: What the heck was the last chapter about?
A: Why, let's just say, it's about what was possible, and what time they had. I will remain cryptic about what the message conveyed in that chapter is.

Q: So would Phoenix and Vincent be enlightened or have the knowledge of the universe all of a sudden?
A: No. Regardless their encounter with 'Childhood', they would still seem the same, only difference is knowing the Master is a part of some larger being. Also they would get more motivation to do what they did, but it wouldn't give them much else. They will still now and then refer to the event of meeting him, but it doesn't affect their personality too well, given certain disbelief about higher entities.

Canonical since what happens to my stuff after Calamity Adventure
Chapter 1:
Betrayal and Betrayers

Two people reside in their mountain cave hideout, making something...
"You know, he's back," said the cloaked person.
"Hmm?" The masked person merely was focused on making their thing and was not pay attention.
"The Master. Endseeker and Hopeless already joined back to him. Are you going to join them?"
"No. I joined so I had a chance to find my sister. But seems I never could."
"Well, same with not joining."
"Really? I thought because you were some arcanist that liked to destroy things-"
"Look, that was before, when I was just born. I didn't know better. But as we talked, things changed."
"Oh, as 'we' talked, right..."
"Don't you dare toy with emotions."
"Right, sorry."
"Anyways, we are going to have to part ways, you know?"
"Why and when?"
"Why is because I need to find someone. The person who I am... clone of. You obviously have your sister. As for when, I say after giving the presents to those in that one base."

Silence filled the room, and only the sound of working on whatever gift they were making was heard, for now.

Chapter 2:
Shadows and nations

Within an underground base secured with Saturnite alloy...

"Tektus."
"Yes, General?"
"I have obtained data from the base southwest of here. Put it to good use."
"Right. Where's Second?"
"He has returned to the Chief's Citadel. And so will I soon."
"Wait, what about this base?"
"By the power invested in me, you are now the leader and head of all operations that occur here. Congratulations Sigma Squad Leader."
"I... What?"
"You heard me. It is a bit duller than an actual ceremony, but currently, I have no time, I must leave. Goodbye Tektus. Make us proud."
"Yes, sir!"
General left through the use of his transportalponder.
"Right... So what to do now...? I really only commanded my squad, but..."

Despite Tektus's original nervousness, he quickly found his courage and thought it was no different than leading his squad. Tektus shaped the Shadow's base into a large area of land, where a nation grew and began to thrive. Many people who were fleeing from the Plague up north fled to this nation, and with the help of the SMT machines, they had the resources to make all that they needed. However, as time went on, it slowly deteriorated. The resources began to run low, and the Plague slowly crept closer and closer to the nation's demise. The name of the nation was Zayin, a word that once meant 'harmless', but now is used to describe a slowly collapsing nation, relying on shipments from the main Shadows instead of the SMT machines to keep it alive.

Chapter 3:
X and K

At a large establishment, with a man and a girl speaking to each other near a weird device.
"Are you sure Kyoko?" asked the man with hundreds of gadgets.
"Yes, I'm sure!" replied the schoolgirl known as Kyoko, "Look, they are my only friend here, and you people don't really pay attention to me much."
"...Well, Kyoko, if you want to stay for a circle, then fine. But we are leaving, meaning you won't have a way back to us."
"That's fine by me."
Kyoko stayed at the establishment. Whilst the man returned to the device, and in a blast of light, he returned to the ship known as Tether, where he was greeted by a mercenary, "Well, X, seems you didn't get Kyoko to get back. I got the shapeshifter and long name elemental to work out the controls. We're ready to leave."
"Well, we should go now, Brett."
"Okay, well, got you on roll call. So with the exception of Kyoko, we have everyone. Let's go."
After issuing the command to launch, the ship whirled into action. It first slowly flew upward, but as it rose, its speed increased, and then it jetted away into the endless expanse of space. Kyoko watched the ship fly away until she couldn't anymore. Without the ship, the devices that teleported people to the ship no longer worked.

Chapter 4:
Aftermath, Conclusion, and Summary?

The plague, uncontrolled, even before the "Texas-sized" fire, began to spread, plaguing most of the area north of the base. Without anyone finding the source, and extinguishing it, it spreads with no restraints. It quickly turned to Plague Fusion, a substance that made the plague spread even further. The only civilization that was struck by this plague and survived was the Burrows.
Without the base heeding their warnings, the Order of the Unstable ceased all communications with the base. They will not contact people who do not acknowledge their existence, even if it was only through notes. They marked the place as inactive, and did not ever return to them.
The Shadows kept on developing new technology. General left the base soon to be known as the 'Safest Place on Earth' with a copy of all their data, and Second returned empty handed from his mission. They later elected Tektus to run all Shadow operations in this world and then Second and General left, to receive further orders from the Chief. The data from the base lead the Shadows to search for points of interest, usually finding areas ransacked like the dragon ruins to seemingly nonexistent, like P-DON's base. Nonetheless, they became more military based, and began to enforce the laws that the Shadows have made. Using the SMT machines and their ability to turn coins into usable materials, they built a new nation, known only as 'Zayin', using survivors from the plagued north as population, while the military Shadow bases hid within them. Technology like Plague Fusion Nanos can now be seen patrolling the city, keeping the Plague at bay.
The Master later was reincarnated, and their reign began again. Endseeker and Hopeless returned to the Master's side. Hunting out traitors, they sought to hunt down Aerean, and Darkness. They have not accomplished this assassination, and probably never will.
F-Stop, despite its loss of ICaRUS, still prospered, paving the way to more advanced robotics, and more deadly devices.
GDL labs was forgotten. Without the help of the base, the device hidden inside became unstable, and resulted in a powerful explosion, the nearby swamps now have a large crater in it.
The Zetan ship Tether was back up and running thanks to the inhabitants of the ship. With that, Tether once again flew and headed for the cosmos, who knows what happened to it?


V. Teridax was never again seen in this world until two decades later.
Vezon returned to his world, made madder by what has happened here, and now with the experience of combat, became a chaotic but effective mercenary.
Makuta Teridax left back to his world, spreading the lessons of this world to his own. He, however, disliked this world, and he made it quite clear not to repeat the mistakes in which it taught silliness near serious technology can result in more devastation.
Taka was later killed by the Master's Forces, ironically by his own bloodline.
Atom and Neutra, now the monster they are, left for other civilizations. They were then captured by the Shadows and used for experiments.
Glitched Teridax began evacuating this world of the forgotten, fulfilling his role as Charon of the Backstage. Now, the backstage had more characters that it has ever had, but despite this cursed world, the forgotten saw old friends, and rejoiced at their reunion. It doesn't matter now that they are recycled, now that they have each other for company.
Kyoko was the only one who stayed behind, out of the entire crew of Tether. X and the crew said their goodbyes, and left. Now, Kyoko is here, looking over her friend, Alias.

With that, marks an end.
Perhaps... You'll meet me later.
Perhaps... You already have.
But until then...
Be seeing you later.

Spoiler

Canonical, since this is Phoenix's memories. However, given that they are memories, they may have specific... discrepancies, since sometime you would remember something wrong sometimes. So it is canonical, but some things are specifically false.

Memory #1: Good in me
The day before...

She worked for an odd company. An odd company devoted to gathering power. Not in a political or some metaphorical sense. Literal, electric power, in order to power the world she used to live in.

The odd part was, they required the help of creatures that were thought only to be seen in fairy tales or legends.

Sooner or later, the monstrous creatures who lived here became commonplace.

However... She was never truly accustomed to it.

She never saw the large chaos that happened in the other departments. All she did was doing in the research department. She just did her work, finish up harvesting E-Boxes, and got home. Even when at home, chaos followed her there in the form of neighbors who tend to blare music out of their walls.

She never really got enough sleep.

The day...

The day where everything changed.

The day where she was not herself...

ever again.

She was working on a creature, as always.
The one before this one being a masked doctor of some sort.
They spoke of a world that would be perfect, where everyone would be forgiven of their sins. She did not believe that. The doctor gave them a blessing, but with her doubt, it was able to limit the blessing's potential.

Now, she was working with a floating skull, which her co-workers said that if you were to confess to it, you would feel better. With the troubling blessing, she confessed about it to the skull.

At the same time, the rapture began. The doctor had transformed into an angelic yet monstrous creature, and those who were blessed by them turned into monstrous missionaries of destruction, one by one. When it was time for her to turn, she completed her confession. The confession caused beams of light from to strike the blessed of the doctor, including herself, and even the angelic creature, sending them back into containment. However, as she was not affected by the transformation to the monstrous missionary yet, she was spared from death, as the twelfth blessed.

However, the destruction caused by the short existence of the missionaries was still destruction, and caused havoc, releasing creatures from their rooms, and quickly spreading.

She was unconscious for most of the time. The facility was at its most highest emergency level. When she got up, the skull was still there, but it did nothing to help. She opened the door, and was shocked.

Blood... Blood splattered across the walls... And... creatures running loose... She grabbed her EGO weapon, the weapon that was issued to her for occasions like this, a scythe in a musical note... And she wanted to get out.

After going through many hallways, now that most of the other ones had been blocked, she saw her former co-workers, all driven mad by the chaos, killing each other, beating each other to death. In this hallway, only one of her own friends was left, and they charged at her. With one sweep, she beheaded her friend in an act of self-defense.

Immediately feeling guilty, she collapsed and began to weep. Mourning for her friend, and mourning for all her co-workers who she worked with. Why? Why was this happening to her? Why couldn't she have taken a sick day or something to avoid the sorrow of this disaster, and the death of their own friend?

Eyes appeared around her, but she didn't care.
Tremors of footsteps came from behind her, but she didn't care.
She had just lost... every will that she had. Everything... gone.
She simply cried.

After a few moments, she finally noticed the presence of the creature behind her. Turning around to face the creature, she wished she didn't do that the moment she saw it. She was taken that moment. She was gone. No trace left, except for her scythe, fittingly named, "Da Capo".


Memory #2: Dark forest
It's not right... It's just not right. She didn't care about cities and civilizations. She didn't care about armies or war. She was just doing her job, a simple person, working so she could pay rent, and go home. But then they took her. She doesn't know why they didn't do what they did to all of her co-workers, but they...

When she finally awoke...

She saw nothing.

Nothing but darkness.
As if it was instinct, she lit a lantern. But wait... where did the lantern come from? And how did she know it was there? What... changed? The lantern gave a comforting feeling to her, but seemingly only to her, as she would soon learn, to almost everyone else, the light it gave was of fear, dread, and despair.

She lifted up the lantern, and a flood of thoughts began to chew on her sanity.
A voice that was just, yet corrupt in the same aspect.
A voice that was merciless, and wished to find others to harm.
A voice that was full of pride, yet calculating every movement.
And a voice that was consuming her with despair.

Her personality constantly changed as the voices... Destroy! Worthless! Follow! Look! Here! See! Punish! Judge! Heretic! Stop... Please stop, she pleaded with the voices.

Looking for help when there was none, making explanations where it did not fit, she asked and wondered, where was the manager? Why did they put her in this department, why has the manager decided to punish her? Did she do something wrong? Why couldn't the manager told her about everything else that was happening? Could they even see her, or would they need a sign? From this moment onward, she sometimes wrote the word 'MANAGER', either for a plea of help and hope, or for rage for despair and revenge.

She then remember being dragged away by... the monster. A monster of the black forest. In a fit of rage for revenge, she got up, and searched for the monster.

She wandered in the forest, guided by the light of the seemingly everlasting lantern, hunting for the monster who turned her to this. But there was nothing. There were no creatures, no sun and moon, and no monster. All that is left is just her, and the black forest filled with darkness.

Despair filled her, again, and she was just alone. Alone. Alone. Alone.

All except for the voices. The cacophony of voices.

It's always darkest before the dawn. But she's going to have to wait until dusk.

Memory #3: First day
Oh what a turn of events...

Yesterday, she lost her job thanks to Vo Industrial Laboratories running the company she worked for out of business, but her first job application was accepted?

She felt happy about this, as she got to get back to work, and didn't have to put up with the annoyance of looking for more jobs.

When she arrived at the company, she found out that her background in biological science put her here, as she would be dealing with creatures to produce E-Boxes. After that, she seemed to have a good, yet noisy, life.

She talked with her co-workers, have a cup of tea, shared stories...

Perhaps... She would have been much more happier if she didn't get the job.

Memory #4: Positive, Negative Zero.

[Memory corrupted. Data Expunged. Check Memory Repository for more information.]

Memory #5: Childhood

She had four friends. Isabelle, Ethan, Brett, and Xaiver.

Isabelle always was playful, with her toys, or with her words.

Ethan always was excited, either about news or about candy.

Brett always was curious, with any gadget, or concept he saw.

Xaiver always was rash, but he always broke the monotony.

But in the end, three friends left her, for their own reasons.

Isabelle and Xaiver were moving away.

Ethan switched schools.

Only Brett was left, and he did his best to console her, but even he had to go.

Their paths seemed to split away, and now, everyone who she considered friends was gone.

She was alone.

Alone.

From then on, she only made 'friends' with co-workers. Not those who she would think would be leaving soon.

This dependency on co-workers for social response...

It may have went... too far at a point.

But until then, she was alone.
Alone.
But regardless, she gave everything. And still did.

Terra, Celestial, and Heck

Prologue:
So, here we go again.
Another tale.
Another story.
I wonder how long this will last.
Regardless...
Either it will fail, or it will last.
Who knows.
Oh well.
See you later.

Chapter 1: Blood and jungle

"Come on."
Phoenix lead the way to the entrance of an ancient jungle temple, with Vincent following behind. It appears that they are underground, with vines and plantlife somehow thriving in a dark place.
"You know, when I said I wanted to go somewhere humid, this isn't what I had in mind."
"No?" Phoenix chuckled, "Of course not, but they say life is about the journey, not the destination, so we are going here. Adven-"
"Adventure, yeah yeah I got that from last time. Anyways, what's your book of doom and destruction say?"
"Prophecy of the Skin, thank you very much. This temple was once created by forces that seem dormant now, but they were fearsome in their prime. They were known for doing questionable acts, all for power, no mercy. Their leader, Jungle Tyrant Yharim, made sure there was no mercy. His power is rumored to be enough to completely control worlds with ease."
Both begin walking into the temple.
"So, how much ego do you think they have?"
"Well, if I can extract EGO equipment from them..."
"No, that's not what I was talking about, Phoenix."
"I know. I just like to talk about stuff like that. I can't really answer your question, but here we are, the entrance to the temple."
"So, what?"
"Well, ever since the disappearance of Yharim, many have conquered the known remnants of his forces and ransacked temples like these. Seems this one isn't ransacked, or at least not by a lot."
"Then why is the temple door closed?"
The temple door was indeed closed, with an array of switches next to it.
"The door isn't supposed to be this large. It's usually smaller, with a slot for a key. That means someone else has been here."
"Ah, great. So, how do we get through?"
"Hmm... I don't see the answers in the back of the book."
Phoenix smiled after saying that, fully aware of the joke she just made.
"...You know, this would go a lot faster if we didn't talk."
"Quit your whining. The door will open if we by pass whatever wiring it has. Terrarian ingenuity with contraptions using wires, actuators and of the sort can be easily bypassed with an switch."
"We are going to pull that type of crap?"
"Yes, now grab one of those switches please and let me test it on the door."
Vincent grabs and tears off one of the switches, hands it to Phoenix, and after some experimentation, the door to the rest of the jungle temple open.
"Well, Phoenix, how's your prudence now that you did that?"
"Great, thanks for asking."
"...Seriously?"
"Come on."
They ventured further into the temple. Surprisingly, they met no resistance afterwards.
"That's odd," Vincent remarks.
"Seems the temple goes up. Not further down."
"Oh great, now we can say hi to all the creatures upstairs."
"Yup."
They continued, passing through stairways, halls, chambers, and rooms, all devoid of life besides the occasional plants. They continued until they reached the top, where they found a balcony, which was overlooking a large amount of land, infested with red flesh, oozing blood, and a slew of monstrous creatures rising from the flesh, trying to satiate their hunger for even more flesh, to add to the pile of the already massive amount of flesh litter across the landscape.
"Phoenix, we're not in Kansas anymore..."
"When have we ever been in Kansas?"
"Well, never, but you know, stories. Must be glad we are up here, and they are down there. It looks as if we are in a tower of some fortress."
"Well, I guess we got our answer."
"What answer?"
"This place has been ransacked. Though, the people who have done it also recreated the place in their own imagery."
"Yeah... Though, I don't know what this place is surrounded by. I'm assuming you have the knowledge, like you always do thanks to your fancy book?"
"Well, I know of it, not from the Prophecy itself, but from the books the old man had where you found me, and the general and fox."
"Oh, I see. Well, can't see words being spoken, but..."
"It's called the Crimson. Named for its crimson red appearance. It's a large mass of flesh seeking to add to its own. It affiliates its powers with those who take the energies of the body, like Vampires, Werewolves, things that are usually bloody."
"I can easily tell the bloody part quite quickly."
"Stories differ about its origin. Some say it's an old being-"
"Does it look like your book?"
"No, it's not written by Lovecraft. Others say a cult obsessed with using flesh and blood in their rituals is to blame, some think it's a virus, but I think... Well... The White Night, if he comes here, will turn this flesh into what he calls... And bring the end of days with him."
"... I know, you don't have to beat yourself up about your 'blessing', but surely it would have faded by now."
"Yeah... Stories from all over mesh together, don't they?"
Phoenix, unaware of it, was slowly changing. Her hair became white, and her eyes became a color similar to crimson red, but a lighter shade, and less vicious. Vincent noticed this change.
"What? Phoenix... You are...?"
"Huh? What?"
She is completely pale. Her clothes changed, from her normal appearance to something else. She now wears a white robe with red markings mainly on the torso part of the robe, usually in the form of crosses. On the arms of the robe is red collars with white rune symbols etched into them, along with red thorns, like those from a thorn crown, tied around her arms. She wears a skirt made of black or dark grey feathers with white boots with red outlines. She wears a white suit under her robe, similar to a business suit, with red stitching instead of buttons for the suit, and dried dark red blood splattered on the right side of the business suit, or her left when wearing it. She also wears a red tie, though this is only seen at her neck since the tie is under the suit since stitching. Her undershirt's or the clothing she wears under the suit is unknown. She wears a gold armband over her left arm on her robe that has the number '666' etched in white on it. She has long, curly luxuriant white hair, with a pin showing a red apple with a bite in it, with a white red-eyed snake coming out of said bite looking downward. There are two red ribbons that come from the pin and dangle near her hair.
"Phoenix... Um... You've changed," Vincent said as he backed away from Phoenix, taken by surprise at such a change.
Phoenix looked at herself, and she noticed the white hair, and the robes, and the blood near her heart.
"...It's... not... gone... I'm still cursed by him..."
She somberly looks at Vincent, as if expecting forgiveness of a sin she committed. But what sin, for she only changed.
"The White Night... he still looks at me and..."
"Phoenix, what are you saying?" Concerned, Vincent slowly walked forward to make sure she was okay, and to see if the blood was... well... real, and if it was, hers.
"...The blessing... The... curse... If I am exposed to what he calls evil too much, he will endow me with great power, and an even greater burden."
"Well, you are still yourself right? You should be able to control it, right?"
"I don't know. But, let's not tempt it, please."
"Come on, there has to be other things to do than wait around getting all crimson."
Phoenix smiled and whispered quietly that Vincent cannot hear, "You've given me hope again. But I guess it's time to give hope to the rest of them."




Chapter 2: Ticket to hell

"Ah yes, there are other things he calls evils. Both the corruption and hallow of this world are included with the crimson. Anything like it follows suit. Only the pure, the original is not considered an evil power, and if I get too much, he will come down and bestow the wings of death and unleash the day of reckoning.

The Hallow is a world filled with perpetual, false happiness. But behind its candy colored world is a destructive force, filled with obsession, control, and who knows what else. I heard a story once about a goblin who thought a sacrifice of honor would prevent the rest of the world evils from being unleashed, but in the tale, it only worsened the situation, by creating a 'virus'. The story that is seen to be true is that Providence, the Profaned Goddess, created the Hallow, and used it as her domain. Similarly to the White Night, she can unleash devastating power onto those who dare try to test her. But unlike the White Night, he can easily scale to a power unfathomable to reality, only prefering to use his missionaries to fight for him, but if he were to unleash his full force...

The Corruption was the first to appear. And last to be mentioned here. A moderate amount of stories show that the Corruption was a virus. Some showed them as a remnant of an ancient faction. I know it as what is ruined. I see it as the birthplace of despair, at least of this world. I see it as the place where hope goes to die. A dark, foreboding place in which many forces brood and skulk and plan their next attempt to dominate the world.

In this world, in the universe of Arret, lays the many dimensions, worlds of Terraria, and so we must avoid or purge the evils, or suffer what they call punishment."

"Phoenix..."

"I believe, despite what has happened in this world, everything is resetting, very slowly. Despite those who once roamed being defeated, they are going to reform once more, and we'll need to take them out."

Phoenix, still in her form of being the innocent martyr, sat overlooking the world. Vincent simply stood beside her, still worried about her.

"Well, what are we going to do?"
"The Derplings, despite their names, are intelligent, and could help us, but... as they are trapped within a different dimensional cluster from this one, we are only going to get the more chaotic derplings, gone mad instead."
"I said what are we going to do, not who was going to help us."
"We need to get rid of whatever is plaguing this world. The Dark Master, the celestial being whose brother you see all around you."
"Cthulhu is all around here, meaning..."
"The Moon Lord. He wants to be freed from his world to wreak havoc across the realms, and I believe that by usurping his brother's power... he just might succeed."
"So we'll need to stop him, of course."
"Yes..." Phoenix flips through the Prophecy again.
"Looking through the Necronomicon again, Phoenix?"
"It's not written by Lovecraft. So it's not the Necronomicon. Anyways... There is a cultist who is rumored to be using his powers to try to harness the celestial elements of the Moon Lord, near the place where... where..."
"What is it, Phoenix?"
"That's impossible, it says that it's near the old building that... The world where we..."
"Doesn't that mean that we were in a different dimension though. Same universe, different dimension."
"...Yes, yes, that explains it, hopefully. Anyways, let's go. The Dark Master cannot be allowed to wreak havoc. Come on."
"The difficult part is, trying to find the building in the first place though."
"Don't worry, we can take the express train to hell."
"...What?"
"It's simple. The clerk who runs the train knows me, and can get us, or at least near, there."
"...Why?"
"You'd be surprised how many trains go through my facility."
"I'm just having a confusion attack right now so please stop hurting my brain."
"Fine. Ahem. When the time comes, the train chugs down the tracks and sounds its mighty horn... Take us to hell."

A big cage like structure rises out of a newly formed portal that appeared after saying that. The cage resembles a ticket station, with the base being skulls and rocks. In the dark cell are two glowing yellow eyes behind the bars of the cage. Four square lights are on top of the cage.

Phoenix spoke to the hellish ticket booth. "Two tickets to hell, please."

The clerk inside the ticket booth pulls out two tickets and reaches with its long, lanky, dark, skeleton arms and gives Vincent and Phoenix the two tickets.

Vincent, confused and now skeptical, asked, "Wait, these are free?"

The clerk pointed to the lights, and as the lights light up, the train grew closer. Though, how do you have a train in a tower? That's the big question.

"I'll... take that as a 'yes'...?"

The second, then the third, then the fourth light lit up. There were no more other lights. What was going to happen now all of the lights are on?

Some time passes, then a portal opened with the train came chugging down the non-existent tracks, with its passengers picking up Vincent and Phoenix as it came by.

"Ack! Phoenix, why of all things you choose this to get there?"
"Because it's fun."
"I have the feeling you've been reading that book too much."

And so the express train to hell went... to hell, obviously.




Chapter 3: Hell-o

The train stopped at its destination.

"Ah yes, hell. Thanks for showing me this Phoenix, couldn't wait until the afterlife could you?"
"Come on, we aren't dead yet. Besides, there are some sights here."
"Oh, and must I suggest the wonders that-"
Phoenix grabs and pulls Vincent out of the train car before he could finish. With that, the train began to go back up to find other souls to take down to the underworld.
"Vincent, at least be more respectful of those around us. Besides, once you get past the fire and brimstone, it's nice here."
"Why did I expect that to come out of your mouth?"
"Because it's a place he never comes down to. Come on, let's go before time runs out."

With that, they move towards another train station, because unfortunately, the train stations don't teleport here.
Sights filled the ruined cities as the inhabitants tried to make a living. Demons selling voodoo dolls and magic spells here, a show with a large flesh creature boasting demonic clowns in the act, and other undead creatures roaming around the streets, picking up remnants of their once great city, turned to ruins, slowly rebuilding it back to its former glory.
Despite what hell would look like, it wasn't or at least didn't seem oppressed at all. In fact, everyone was working in harmony.

"Well, not what hell I thought would be."
"Not what I thought hell would be," corrected Phoenix, "Ever since its destruction eons ago, the inhabitants are simply making a living. Most of the resources are slowly depleting, unholy magic gone. Without it, demons don't get all of the power, so they have start bargaining with each other, and start fresh and recreate everything from its destruction. You don't see much change happen here even if you released powerful beings and such. It's a place that's usually ignored. And because of that, it got weaker over time, and as more souls piled up here, it became vastly overpopulated. So, instead of bickering, they bonded together and began to rebuild. In fact, they might be happier working to build something greater instead of being tricksters and deceivers. Obviously, I showed how the demons have motivation to rebuild, but how about the other tortured souls here? If they are suffering the same pain, anguish, and trauma, why fight to add on to that? Why make things worse than they are? So, they work alongside with the demons to rebuild. Maybe hell would look like the greatest thing that ever happened in a few eons if everyone kept their mindset here for that long."
"Who was responsible for, well destroying this place?"
"Well, dependent on world, universe and dimension, but here, was destroyed by a witch named Calamitas on the behalf of Yharim."
"...Well, despite it being hell, it doesn't look too bad here actually. It's quite... sad."
"Why?"
"Because... everyone thinks death is something to be feared. Like if you die, it's over. No extra chances. But what happens when something like this happens? Shouldn't people no longer fear death knowing they are going to a better place or something. Like, here, I see most of the inhabitants, demon or not, being happy. I... I don't know what to feel of that. Hell and happy don't seem to mix."
"Well, you have to take into account that hell is a place, just like any other place. They don't have infinite resources. Why fight over stuff when it might be gone in the future and everyone loses? Obviously, I'm sure there are still demons who haven't given up being deceivers or whatever, but they are still trying to make a living, like everyone else. They just don't do the same thing as everyone else."

As they made it to the next train station, it appears that hell doesn't seem to be the dark foreboding place it was. Maybe, things were changing. But that's only in this world so far.

With arriving to the train station, Vincent and Phoenix status as not being dead netted them two other tickets, and they again got onto the train, but this time, it wasn't going deeper into hell. No, it was going to the world where the sun shines. Maybe the world below would become similar to it someday. Only time will tell.

With that, the train left the afterlife.




Chapter 4: No Salvation, No End

The train continues on its way, chugging and blowing its horn as it continued to travel throughout hell and out of the afterlife.
"...Phoenix?"
"Yeah?"
"I was wondering... Everyone seemed in someway nice to each other, yet hell..."
"Is supposed to be cruel, foreboding and stuff? Yeah... Many people don't realize it, but those 'sinners' or whatever are usually normal people. Yes, they may do bad things, but maybe they couldn't help it. Maybe they made a mistake and they burned down some symbol of hope and they are now down in the underworld. Yes, there are some people who should burn, but... Don't you really think that wrongs can be forgiven? If fundamental purpose is justifiable, one evil deed could be allowed, right? If the intention was good, the most purest in the land, then an evil deed could be allowed, right?"
Phoenix became silent for Vincent to think it over.
"You're... talking about yourself, aren't you?"
"...One sin, and a hundred good deeds. All I did in the beginning was my job. Now, thanks to that job, I'm here."
"Well, you wouldn't have seen things that you've seen, met the people you have met, stuff like that, yeah?"
"I guess."
They were silent the rest of the way to the building where the Moon Lord could be summoned.
The train stopped at the ancient building, and Vincent and Phoenix got off. They could see it was night. Apparently all that time in hell was enough to to turn to night? With that, the train left, with a portal back to hell.
"Here we go, Phoenix."
At the building were four cultists, two praying to what could be seen as a symbol of the Moon Lord, and the other two carried bows to protect the other cultists, though one of these has taken notice of the train of hell and is confused by its sudden appearance and disappearance.
The cultists were awaiting for the full moon. Agitated by the train and the appearance of Vincent and Phoenix, the second cultist opened fire with arrows while the first followed.
Despite their attempts to guard the symbol of the Moon Lord, they were no match for the cultists with bows were eliminated with a dash from Phoenix, smashing and impaling them with her sword, while Vincent used his gauntlets to destroy the two worshipping cultists.
With all four cultists gone, a fifth cultist appeared from seemingly thin air. They were dressed in the same robes as the other cultists, this time with a plague doctor mask. They laughed and began to absorb the energies from the symbol, only for Phoenix to smash into him on her way back, attempting to impale him like she did with the others.
Without a host for its power now that Phoenix pushed the cultist out of the way, its power began to fold on itself. Cracks formed on its surface, and then it shattered, and because there was no host for the power, it created a blast of energy sending both the cultist and Phoenix away from it. The energy culminated into what seemed to be a portal.

Vincent, following instinct, grabbed Phoenix and made sure to hold on tight to the ground, "Hold on! That might-"
The cultist, surprised at what happened, attempted to recover from the attack that occurred to him, only to be pulled into the portal.
"-Do that."
"We are going to have to go in though!"
"What? Phoenix, you realize what could be there?"
"The Moon Lord. And we must find a way to stop him. We might as well take the fight to him."
"...If you say so..."
With that, Vincent let go of the ground, and both Phoenix and Vincent were pulled into the portal.

"This world acts as the prison that holds the Moon Lord captive. Solar flares, nebula energy, vortexes, and stardust litter the area around us."
Both Vincent and Phoenix land on a floating island made of stones and pulsing with celestial energy.

"Ugh! Now I've seen everything," moaned Vincent.
"Yeah, well I think you'll see more, Vincent, since we are somewhere no one has ever seen before."
"Yeah," Vincent said while getting up, "But seriously, what are we going to be doing here to stop the Moon Lord from getting out and stuff?"
"Simple, get rid of him."
"How? We don't know where he even is."
"I'm thinking where the most of this celestial energy is. Higher concentrations of this energy, probably closer to the Moon Lord."
"Ah, yes, well do you need to be blindfolded before entering the blinding light?"
"Stop with the sarcasm, but no. Come on. The floating rocks in this place should help us get around faster."

They began to travel through the voidal expanse filled with celestial energy, looking for the source of the energy here. It was a painstakingly long task to venture throughout a floating, barren, energy filled, wasteland, but soon they got to what seemed to be the main island of all these rocks, with energy pulsing out of one main pillar, connected to four other pillars like a compass rose.

"Well. Whatever they are feeding this place, it's more than beef."
"I don't know what you are saying, Vin."
"I'm saying that whoever this Moon Lord is, they are probably more stronger than you expected."

Shortly after he spoke those words, the cultist that was sucked into the portal appeared before them, veins coursing with celestial energy, and eyes glowing in rainbow like colors. Energy crackled from his hands, and it seemed that he was looking to get even.

"Oh, him again, Phoenix, look."
"He's... The Moon Lord must have given him more power than ever before."
"Yeah, I can tell."

The cultist immediately responded with energy coils, attempting to wrap around the two, only for Phoenix quickly avoiding them with her speed and for Vincent to blast the coil with mana to slow its descent, giving him time to avoid it. Seeing how this failed, the cultist surrounded himself with celestial energy and released it in an outburst made of stars, raining upon Phoenix and Vincent. Despite the immense power of this attack, it has been diluted by the area it had to cover, giving Vincent and Phoenix enough strength to retaliate.
Phoenix fired a beam made of light from her rapier, still using the power of her curse to her own benefit, and Vincent summoned elemental storm clouds above the cultist, raining flames and lightning on him. The cultist was not even close to done yet. Bursts of flame and solar energy flew out of the cultist's body violently, nearly hitting Vincent, but even though it missed, it was enough to make Vincent feel the potential heat that attack could have had. Enraged at how little his attacks were doing to these two, the cultist used his power to create duplicates, all the same of him, and summon a large dragon like entity with physical visions of the Moon Lord to subdue the two. Phoenix was able to destroy the illusions with blasts of light, while Vincent was able to take out 3 of the clones, though more came coming. The dragon like entity then rammed and attempted to gnaw at Vincent, though Vincent's agility was able to save him from being turned into food. The cultist was using his power to charge a large portal in which lightning came out of, and insectoid like creatures leaped out to attack and feed. Phoenix, taking advantage of the cultist using his magic to create a visible difference between all of the clones, she fired another blast of light, this time aimed directly at the cultist, burning his mask and dispelling his clones as he did not have the concentration to keep them up. Vincent used himself as a distraction for the dragon, using the dragon to indirectly attack the insects that came out of the portal by having the dragon eat the insects instead of him by diving out of the way of the dragon's charge. After the insects were subdued, Vincent unleashed a hail of lightning bolts onto the dragon, destroying it and all of the insectoid creatures. The cultist was not done yet, for he began to combine his energies, summoning flares to rain down on Phoenix, but it was too slow to hit her, despite the power that it clearly had as it blasted the ground into smaller chunks of rock, accidentally smashing into the orange pillar that was connected to the island, destroying it. Calling upon the power of light, the cultist fired a large blast of rainbow like energy in a continuous, destructive beam, only to find the same result, destroying a light blue pillar. Switching his focus to Vincent, the cultist began pummeling Vincent with rocket like projectiles and hails of energy bolts, but Vincent dived out of the way, behind another pillar, destroying a green blue pillar, though the attack was enough to damage Vincent's leg, as it was badly burned from the explosive rocket like blasts. Phoenix fired multiple beams of light at the cultist, annoying the cultist to give chase, with an enraged amount of energy being unleashed in the cultist's anguish. Upon reaching the fourth and purple pillar, Phoenix turned around and dashed under the cultist as he smashed into the pillar, energy crackling through him and the pillar until it exploded with a great force, killing the cultist in the process.

"Okay, we got that maniac gone, right? Vincent?"
Phoenix looked around for Vincent, until finding him near one of the remnants of the pillars.
"Ugh... Well, thanks for taking out that guy while my leg is burned. Ack!"
"Oh no, is there any way I can help you?"
"No... Probably will heal on its own. I can still, kinda walk-ish. More of a crawl."
Rumbling came from the pillar in the middle, dimensional gates to other worlds were opened, and a giant, colossal, monstrousity came out, with its brain exposed, and six or seven eyes, and tentacles all over its face. The Moon Lord has appeared.
"Phoenix, I have an idea. Please, buy me time."
"Okay, stay safe."
Vincent started to walk into one of the dimensional portals, and now it was Phoenix against the Moon Lord. Now noticing that there were also eyes on the Moon Lord's hands, she fired a beam of light at one of them, and just towards the other, implanting her sword into it. The eye then begins to duplicate itself, but Phoenix back away almost immediately upon seeing it. After the eye duplicated itself five more times, the duplicates fell towards Phoenix, to which she dashed under and jumped up again, using multiple sword slashes and swings to try to destroy this eye. In a quick turn of events, she was able to harm it enough where the eye popped out of the hand, revealing teeth inside the hand, and Phoenix was then blasted by a beam of concentrated celestial energy from the main eye of the Moon Lord, on his forehead.
Phoenix was now weakened and on the verge of death, "Vincent... Help," she pleaded, and as fate would have it...


Chapter 5: Giants, Machine and Cthulhu

A dimensional portal opened and from it bursted out... another Moon Lord? But wait, it's appearance looks more mechanical, and machine like, and there's Vincent on the mechanical Moon Lord's shoulder!
"Moon Lord, meet Moon Lord," Vincent yelled,"Moon Lord, DEFEAT MOON LORD!"
A girl wearing red and yellow overalls opens the door in the mechanical Moon Lord's supposed ear, "Actually, I think it's Cthul-"
"Get back in there, Mechanic. Who's controlling this then?"
"Oh right," in which the mechanic goes back inside the machine.

The mechanical Moon Lord tackles the original Moon Lord, with turrets firing from the shoulders of the mechanical Moon Lord and probes coming out to fire lasers at the original Moon Lord. The right arm of the mechanical Moon Lord clamps on tight to the real one's left arm while the left arm of the mechanical Moon Lord grabs and crushes the real Moon Lord's right hand, with saw blades coming out of the mechanical's left arm, shredding the eye in the Moon Lord's right hand. When the time was right, the eye from the right hand fled the hand. The two now free eyes of the real Moon Lord begin to attack the mechanical one, but it is too late, the real one has suffered a large amount of damage. The Mechanical Moon Lord let go of the real Moon Lord's right hand, and focused and gathered its strength into one punch, rocketing into the real Moon Lord's face as his eyes widened at the sight as if they couldn't get any bigger.
The attack sends the real Moon Lord flying back, collapsing on the fifth and final pillar of the floating island, destroying it. Now the real Moon Lord was dormant, as if dead...


A loud roar came from the real Moon Lord's mouth as it got up.
"No ... I said DEFEAT MOON LORD!!!" yelled Vincent, but it was too late. The Moon Lord grappled with its mechanical self, using its eyes to tear it apart, though the punch was able to knock out an eye on the real Moon Lord's face. Lasers, flames, and bombs, parts of the mechanical Moon Lord's defenses whirred into action, attempting to regain advantage.
Vincent and the Mechanic got off of the mechanical Moon Lord, as it was being torn to pieces.
Vincent ran to Phoenix to check on her, using a mechanical shell created by the mechanic for his burned leg.
"Phoenix...?"
"I'm... not okay... Look, just kill the Moon Lord... please... In case I don't..."
"Don't talk that way. You're going to be fine."
"Well, just... kill him already..."

The Moon Lord finished the mechanical one, but not without withstanding serious damage, as his heart was now exposed. The Moon Lord tossed his mechanical self away like the trash it was, only to be attacked by Vincent, firing bolts out of his gauntlets.
"Yeah! Over here!"
Vincent ran, and the three eyes that came out of the Moon Lord begin to charge an attack. Vincent's mechanical shell for a leg broke, and he collasped, narrowly missing the attack that the eyes just executed, as they charged past him with duplicate eyes. One large energy bolt was fired, and it hit the Moon Lord's heart, and caused a bright flash as the eyes began to turn to dust and as the Moon Lord's body failed. The Moon Lord's body exploded and collapsed on itself as it blew up, until a blinding light was seen, and when it faded, only the Moon Lord's skeleton was left.

"Killed Moon Lord," spat Vincent.
"Vincent, you did it," congratulated Phoenix, still on the floor.
"Well, you did it. You got rid of the thing those cultists wanted me to remake," spoke the mechanic.
"Well, it's... a bit... well... I don't know, I kinda just want to relax after that," Vincent said, picking up a bag dropped from the Moon Lord, as well as a strange device, "Say, can you make EGO of the Moon Lord, Phoenix?"
"Probably, Vincent."
"Well, let's go, Phoenix."
"Wait, how about me?" The mechanic chimed in.
"Well, do you want to come with?" Vincent asked
"Sure, I have nothing else to do other than walk in this... void?"
"Well, guess we are going again," Vincent sighed.

Phoenix smiled as she was helped up by Vincent and they stared into the many dimensional portals around them.

And Phoenix simply said one word.

"Adventure!"

Q: Is the Moon Lord dead?
A: Yes.

Q: What is going to happen to the mechanic?
A: Probably going to be a minor side character starting from now.

Q: What was Vincent's plan?
A: Well, given what Phoenix talked about the Moon Lord taking Cthulhu's power and such, why not get Cthulhu to fight Moon Lord? The closest thing I could get was a mech version though.

Q: Why did you make this?
A: IDK.

Q: Why did you put the hell thing?
A: Because to flesh out Phoenix a bit more, and to have an explanation why they can get to the dungeon. Phoenix has seen a lot in her time.

PaV: Storytime
Prologue:
"Welcome back. This meeting of all of the Administrators of all levels, except one, has been called for the purpose of troubling news. We have found entities that were not permitted in our world trespassing."
"Avern, why is that a problem? I see it as an opportunity to learn more."
"Because, Childhood of the record department for your respect, if PSI-PHON did not permit them in, then that means we have intruders that could begin to attack the rest of Amos Viren. 'Borous and Fate have already confirmed that they are not of this world."
"And what are we going to do about it? I say we decide to-"
"Mutios, we don't need the Embodiments to stage an entire war. You of all people should know that since you were induced into here anyways. But you do bring up the good question of what we are going to do. A full on battle and defense against anything like this is out of the question, due to our point of running in the background while everyone else does their part."
"Well, I say have the inhabitants deal with it. It would give us more information about what is happening in Amos."
"Any other suggestions that don't fall into what was previously mentioned? ...No? Alright. Decision has been reached. We will avoid contact with the otherworldly being for now, but I swear if that causes more harm than it's worth, this meeting is going to repeat. Meeting adjourned."

And so, the embodiments have begun to fulfill their purpose, for now.

Chapter 1: Hearts to Heart

"Well, here is the campsite." Phoenix gestured at a simple bonfire that she just lit.
"The camp is safe, isn't it?" asked Vincent.
"Yes, it is."
"I wanted to ask you some things, Phoenix."
"Like what?"
"Well, ever since the temple overlooking the Crimson, I was wondering, well for one, how did you know about the Express Train to Hell?"
"Hmm... Work."
"Work?"
"Work."
"Work?" Vincent repeated, confused.
"Work!!!" interjected Ellen, a mechanic who once built a giant machine resembling some celestial deity, who was also accompanying Vincent and Phoenix now, "What? You two say work, so I said work."
Vincent shook his head, "No, but seriously-"
"I learned about it when I was in the company making energy, okay?" Phoenix interjected, "Can we leave it at that?"
"Fine, Phoenix, but I do have other questions, like what about your previous transformation? You know, white and red everything."
"That's... Ever since the doctor decided... ugh... I really don't want to talk about it."
"Well, we're around a campfire, in the woods, starting to become night... Why not make a story?" suggested Ellen.
Phoenix half smiled, "Yeah, I think I can do something like that. I might answer some of your questions, Vincent, but probably not. Gather around if you aren't already then. A story it is."

Chapter 2: Narrate without Voice

There once was a group of beings. They enjoyed playing with each others' creations. Because of this enjoyment, they built a world specifically for this playing. And as they played, the world would grow.

Hardships were presented to the creations, only to see it be batted away and overcome, but one day, times began to change. The Narrators began taking parts, small chunks of creations, like crumbs, and slapping on their own things to try to deny that they took it straight from the other Narrator. Then they came with their massive plates and began carving larger portions of the Narrator's creations. Angered, this one Narrator, this person took his creations away so they can't steal anymore. They removed everything that they had from the play space, and refused to share.

But... That wasn't enough. They kept on taking. Orbs, lines, powers, music, ideas, and sooner or later, the other Narrators began destroying his creations for fun, now that it seemed as if he didn't care. Hatred and anger built up within the victim, so he made himself a new world, to rid himself of those he thought of as friends before, and used his powers and sacrificed it to turn the other Narrators powerless. Now, without power, the other Narrators became the Voiceless, with nowhere to play, and as the victim did not sacrificed all of his power, he reigned supreme over them. But he refused to take part in whatever the others were doing. He did not rule over them, or steal from them, or help them. He merely left them to fend for themselves.

With that, the victim sealed himself away in his world. A world of loneliness, but as he could still create, he did so without restriction. He built his world to be large and grand, in depth and detailed. But he still feared the past. He feared that others like the now Voiceless would regain their powers and come to steal his creations.

And the tale... It never saw to the end. But its lesson, its intended purpose did.

Be cautious of the Narrators and the Voiceless. They will steal if they get the chance. To protect yourself, arm yourself with loneliness. It will protect fragile minds when needed, and can give the user infinite courage for there would be no monsters to hide from now that loneliness surrounds them.

Chapter 3: Tales to Remember and Forget

"Well, I don't know about you, but I have never heard of that tale. Where is it from, Phoenix?" asked Vincent.
"Its origin came from Zayin. You know, the city surviving the Plague Fusion. They could simply move away from there, since they do know how to go to other worlds, because I heard of them in another world, but the Shadows still think it's worth saving the city. Must be something there that they don't want to let go of. Can't be the 'Safest Place on Earth' though, since they haven't found it until we came along."
"Yeah. Kinda wish we helped out more, but there wasn't much we could actually do there."
"Anyways, time for the next story. I was just getting warmed up, and well, here we go."

In the middle of a forest, a group of people are searching for someone and fleeing from law enforcement.

Aerean:
"I can't believe it."

Navi:
"Stop it already. You've been saying that about your brother for a long time."

Aerean:
"Yeah, yeah Navi. It's still a lot to take in...
Him..."

Grievance:
"...We still need to continue. We need to keep going. We'll find him.
You shouldn't dwell on the past too much, Aerean.
Revenge isn't always the answer. You should let it go."

Aerean:
"...I know, I know...
But there's more than that to why I'm mad at him."

Grievance:
"Oh?
Well... This isn't the time. Time to wrap up the conversation, and get on with this."


The group continues to move on, and needing shelter, they choose to find refuge in a ruin that was nearby. However...

???:
"HOLD IT!!!"

Aerean:
"Huh? What did we do wrong? We're just passing through these ruins!"

???:
"What haven't you done wrong? Selfish enough to protect your own brother? And now trying to escape?"

Aerean:
"I'm not protecting him! I don't even know where he is!"

???:
"Yeah, right. I'm going to be taking you and your friends into custody. And we will get where he is from you."

Navi:
"We're not going with you!"

Grievance:
"I agree with her. We aren't coming."

???:
"Then I will have to make you!"

A fight begins, but the group easily outmatches the one guard.

???:
"No! It can't be! I couldn't have lost... could I?"

Aerean:
"You people never learn to trust others, even when you're law enforcement.
I'm glad I won't have to see the rest of your 'department' after this."

???:
"...What?"

Navi:
"We are leaving to another territory. So unless you have an entire squad with you in a few meters radius, you can't stop us from leaving.
Your law enforcement can't go past the borders. So, you'll just be stuck here.
Goodbye."

They leave the guard, dazed and weaken from his blows. They begin to head towards the border of the territory.

Grievance:
"Ah, so, what makes you sure you'll find your brother there?"

Aerean:
"Nothing is sure. But while we are being chased by them, we will have to lay low.
We aren't actually going past the border, well, not for long anyways.
We just need to get past it, they give up, and we lay low and get back in to continue our search.
And we might find something useful here too. But, let's stick to lay low. We can't be seen in the open, right?"

Navi:
"But where are we going to go?"

Aerean:
"Buildings aren't good to hide in. People could come and call authorities on us when they see us, especially since we don't have identification for this territory."

Navi:
"What are the territories' names again?"

Grievance:
"We are entering Enerov. Our home territory is Wircavil. There are about three other territories, but we'll get to them when time comes."

Aerean:
"That's right... Hmm... Hiding out in the woods might be good, but if there's smoke, it would give us away. So...
I decided! We're going underground!"

Navi:
"What? We're going to have to dig?"

Aerean:
"Nonono! We just need to find a cave. Come on, lets find one."

After a while of searching, they find a cave, and enter it, to explore their surroundings to make sure nothing too hazardous is nearby. Mechanical geist creatures have attacked them before, but they seem to be easy to destroy. But a feeling...

Aerean:
"Huh?"

Grievance:
"What is it?"

Aerean:
"I feel like something is following us..."

Navi:
"Could just be bats."

???:
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE."

Aerean:
"What the heck?!"

???:
"Anomaly located. Purging of anomaly is required for simulation to continue."

Navi:
"What?!? What simulation?!?!"

Grievance:
"Look out! It seems to be a larger version of those geist things!"

The Shadowgeistgoyle charges into battle. However, again being outnumbered does make it possible to be attacked on all sides.
The machine falls down with ease after a few moments of being bombarded with attacks.

Navi:
"Ow... Everything hurts."

Aerean:
"Same here. But, we must keep going. This is the closest exit, so let's get out and get some fresh air..."

Despite trying to leave, they then hear a voice.

???:
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the sudden intruders."

Navi:
"Who is there?!?"

???:
"Me."

Navi:
"We know that, but who are you?!"

???:
"ME."

Navi:
"...?"

???:
"Don't you have any sense of humor?"

Aerean:
"Okay, enough jokes! Reveal yourself!"

???:
"Poof."

The being appears in front of the assembled group. It appears to be a spirit of some kind.

Grievance:
"Who are you? Seriously."

???:
"I go by many names. But you may call me Mutios. It's the last part of me that's left."

Navi:
"Why are you here? What do you want?"

Mutios:
"Because the world is a cruel place. As for your second question...
I'm the very embodiment of hatred, anger, madness. You don't ask why a plague infects or why a fire razes plants. It's because of your kind, every one of you. Your emotions get the better of you. To the point where you become it... Welp.
Don't you think maybe you should just give into anger and hatred at this point?"

A simple battle begins, but Mutios yields after a while.

Mutios:
"Hehe. You got spirit, kids. Let's see if you can last out there.
I have better things to do. You better prepare, because there is a time where everything will change.
And it's very close.
And remember, the world is cruel, humanity kills, and hatred reigns supreme!"

Navi:
"...Well, I guess he's not wrong about giving into hatred.
I already feel mad."

Aerean:
"Yeah, but... I think we just have to move on.
No time just to get mad at everything."

Wandering out of the cave...

Aerean:
"At this point, I declare, we are just lost."

???:
"Ah, but you aren't."

Aerean:
"What? Who said that?!"

A shadow appears from seemingly nowhere.

???:
"Me. I am the Shadow Man. I have come from a distant world to help."

Navi:
"Help? How...? What's your angle here...?"

Shadow Man:
"No tricks. No angles. No games. Look, Aerean, I know that you brother might look like a criminal, but he isn't one.
It was a false claim."

Aerean:
"What? How did you know about him, were you spying on me?!"

Shadow Man:
"No. I was not. And for your other question... I have a snowman on the case."

Grievance:
"I don't even think *I* could understand anymore."

Aerean:
"Leave! You have no place here!"

Shadow Man:
"That is false. I have a place here. And I was told to-"

Aerean:
"No! You know all these things about me, and you appear out of nowhere, and you expect me to think you aren't a spy who might be planning to kidnap us or whatever you people do, huh?"

Shadow Man:
"Just listen to me!"

Aerean:
"No! I'm tired of having to hide from people because they think I know something!"

Shadow Man:
"Stop! If you aren't going to listen...
I'm just going to make you listen.
This could have been avoided, but your immaturity quickly made this the only decision for me."

The shadow man unleashes powerful tendrils of darkness to subdue each and every group member in its tight crushing grasp.

Aerean:
"Why?!"

Shadow Man:
"Will you finally listen?"

Aerean:
"..."

Shadow Man:
"Everyone will die, if you don't believe in your brother.
It doesn't matter if you think he did it or not.
You have to believe in him."

Aerean:
"..."

Shadow Man:
"Look, it might be hard to put your trust into someone who you just met, but trust me!
It might seem rough. It might seem like your friendship was destroyed. But you can mend it!
You can put the pieces together! You can rebuild!
It's hard. I should know. But it doesn't mean you should just not do it!
Nothing worthwhile comes if you don't do hard work.
Please. Right now, there are more things to do than holding grudges.
There is more to this world than you know. And I need you to help!
So please... I need an answer. Yes or no. Choose. Please."

Aerean:
"..."

A moment of silence for no one in particular.

Aerean:
"Y...Yes... I will help."

Shadow Man:
"Thank you for choosing.
Come now, you must venture deep within this world.
Within the very fabric of dimensions.
It might not make sense, but you don't have to make it make sense.
As long as you follow your heart, it will lead you, to do what needs to be done.
Goodbye, we're all counting on you!"

A flash of light blinds the group, only for them to be in an empty expanse of... void?

Aerean:
"...What the?"

Navi:
"This is weird. We're standing on void?"

Grievance:
"They said it won't completely make sense. But, if we are to continue, we must follow our hearts.
Right, Aerean?"

Aerean:
"..."

Chapter 4: Continued
Phoenix yawns, "Well, there's a story for you."
"...You going to finish it?" asked Ellen.
"First, you need to hear the other side of the story first. Ahem."

Ethan:
"Look, it wasn't me!"

Haroy:
"Well, it had to be someone who knocked over that, which then caused a chain reaction that resulted the destruction of the construction site and killed ten people who were working."

Ethan:
"But it wasn't me!"

Haroy:
"We saw you on the tapes!"

Ethan:
"That wasn't me, I swear!"

Haroy:
"Look, the council isn't going to be happy either way, so man up, and admit you did this."

Ethan:
"I didn't do this though! So I have nothing to admit!"

Haroy:
"... Fine. Well, I'm not convinced for any side honestly, but... if you really are innocent, I'll try to help you out."

Ethan:
"Thanks. Please, try to convince the council that I'm innocent."

Haroy:
"...The council is planning to arrest you. And if they think you did it intentionally, they might give you life imprisonment or exectution."

Ethan:
"What?!
Someone... Must be setting me up. That's the only way that I could be accused of this crime!
I know I didn't do that."

Haroy:
"But they think that the new evidence points to you. Especially that tape."

Ethan:
"But they could have altered the tape! Maybe they changed the timestamp or whatever!"

Haroy:
"...Well, now that you say it, I don't believe that there was a clip of you doing it on camera. But then again, that area where it happened was off camera..."

Ethan:
"I really don't think I'd be around here if I did do it.
I would have probably would have fled if I actually did."

Haroy:
"I believe the council will argue with that. Maybe if you turn yourself in-"

Ethan:
"No. I got to clear my name. I didn't do it, so I didn't do it!"

Haroy:
"... I know I can't stop you...
But I think your friends might be able to help you clear your name. Good luck, Ethan."

Ethan:
"Thanks, I'll be on my way then."

Haroy:
"...I feel something in the air. The world is about to change. The shadows are growing deep, and the light is becoming brighter.
...Beware the creature that stalks those who have nightmares in their closets, instead of skeletons.
But... that's not the cause. I sense... Sorrow. Loss. Anger... and so much more...
A war is coming. Trying to prevent it will kill everyone. Destroying the source will kill everyone. We must wait. We must have the war to begin, then we can truly stop it, when it's most vulnerable, exposed.
..."

After some time...

Ethan:
"Great.
Burning everything all around us."

Amy:
"Yeah, well, we better go before it reaches us. I think... Enerov would be a safer place than this."

Joseph:
"Do you see anymore of those monster crazy trees?"

Ethan:
"No, though, them coming to life is very worrying."

Amy:
"Aren't they already alive?"

Ethan:
"...Let's just get to Enerov. We might be able to rest finally. Let's go."

After a while, they encounter a guard or policeman of some sort.

???:
"Oh, well, well well, look who it is! I shouldn't have said that 'only get from you' thing from...
Anyways, you are under arrest for the destruction of government and private property, and the murder of ten people."

Amy:
"Back off. We're not afraid to make you into tiny little chunks of flesh."

???:
"Silence. You two are also under arrest for harboring a criminal instead of turning him to authorities, like you are supposed to."

Amy:
"Ha, right, like you can actually arrest us."

???:
"And I'm going to make you all pay for your crimes."

Amy:
"And I'm going to make you pay TAXES when I overthrow you and everyone you work with."

???:
"Uh... What?
Anyways, let's see if you're all bark but no bite!"

The guard gets wrecked again in sheer numbers.

???:
"Why...? Again...?"

Amy:
"Out like a candle that just was put underwater."

Joseph:
"Not sure that's the expression..."

Ethan:
"Okay, enough jokes, I think Enerov is right up our alley, okay? There's hope!
Let's keep moving forward."

They find a graveyard, that apparently has a bunch of party supplies everywhere, and loud music being blared out. As if someone was using them, but it seems no one is here.

Ethan:
"Okay, who been making the afterlife into an afterparty?"

Amy:
"I think I could get used to this."

Joseph:
"I wouldn't get used to this. I would probably be sleep deprived for the rest of my life."

Ethan:
"Lets... just go..."

Traveling through, they stumble across more graveyard, to which many monsters pop out of the bushes and other hiding places.

???:
"YO YO ITS YA BOIS THE HORROR SHOW MIXERS!!!"

Ethan:
"What the...? You just look like weird combinations of monsters from literature."

???:
"DATS BECAUSE WE ARE!!!"

Ethan:
"...what?"

A battle that cannot be told for the horrors that were there, and the sheer oddness it had.

Ethan:
"...Well, that happened."

Amy:
"...Well, I think you might want to see this. It was on them."

Ethan:
"It's... a map?"

Amy:
"To some place called Ceefishresy."

Ethan:
"What? CEE - FISH - RESY?"

Amy:
"Yup."

Ethan:
"Why did they name them that?"

Amy:
"I don't know. But it might be cool to look there."

Ethan:
"I don't know, it seems too close to the doom and destruction happening here."

Amy:
"PRETTY PLEASE?"

Ethan:
"Why do you want to go there?"

Amy:
"Cheese."

Ethan:
"Excuse me?"

Amy:
"I was just saying cheese because... nevermind. I was just saying...
The map shows that this place is close to another place that... I hold dear. Can we go there before it's destroyed by the chaos?
I'm feeling a bit of regret about something and well, I want to... address it? Am I saying that right?"

Ethan:
"...
Fine. After all, I guess this is your last chance to do... whatever you're going to do... So... Let's go."

They decided to follow Amy, but in doing so...

???:
"Huh. Didn't expect others to be here."

Ethan:
"Look, we are just passing by, no need to come closer."

???:
"I have to disagree. In fact the four of us do."

Amy:
"What? So this was a trap?!"

???:
"Correct. We were abandoned. Until now. Let me introduce us. We are the Jimmys."

Happytime Jimmy:
"We exist? Wow, what a shocker.
We were created as a gag, but we soon evolved quicker than... I don't know, something fast?"

Nightmare Jimmy:
"From an idea on paper to full metal and soul. We'll tear you apart."

Shadow Jimmy:
"And the world will feel the sorrow of being forgotten. Just as we were forgotten."

Jimmy, the Space Endo:
"And now... You'll be the first stepping stone to our revenge."

The battle begins, but through willpower, the Jimmys are suppressed.

Jimmy, the Space Endo:
"We... lost?
How can it be?"

Shadow Jimmy:
"Despite us outnumbering them, they seem to be more skilled than us at our current state."

Nightmare Jimmy:
"Grrr... Being able to defeat us?"

Happytime Jimmy:
"Even when I constantly healed? How?"

Jimmy, the Space Endo:
"Fine. Go to whatever you are going.
But don't expect us to go easy on you the next time..."

Joseph:
"Well... That was something."

Ethan:
"I agree with you on that. Let's just go. Lead the way, Amy."

Some time later...

Amy:
"...
Well... Here we are."

Ethan:
"Um, not to be insensitive or anything, why did you want to come here?"

Amy:
"...Well... It's because my parents are buried here.
...And I might have called them very bad things long ago. I... wanted to apologize."

Ethan:
"...
Well... I guess we're going with. It's not safe to be in the middle of an open area.
..."

Coming across a set of two gravestones...

Amy:
"Hello, again. Um... It's been a while. I... I really hope you're doing much better. I'm sor- sorry for... everything I did."

???:
"Ah, love."

Amy:
"Huh?"

???:
"Do not be afraid, I am Aotius. A spirit of love. I came to ease burdens."

Ethan:
"Um... Aotius, you kinda broke the atmosphere."

Aotius:
"I was also tasked with telling you how you can clear your name."

Ethan:
"What? How?"

Aotius:
"You have to go to a shrine up the hill. There, you will find someone who will lead the way to clearing your name. With that, I must leave. Goodbye, and good luck."

Joseph:
"We're going up there, aren't we?"

To which, they did.

Amy:
"Well, dang. It's actually pretty."

???:
"So... You have finally arrived."

Ethan:
"Huh? Who-?"

???:
"You already know who I am. You came here to clear your name, or die trying, correct?"

Ethan:
"Why... is there a snowman here?"

Infinity Snowman:
"I am the Infinity Snowman. I help those in the world that is going to be. But right now... I have to help you."

Ethan:
"...Why?"

Infinity Snowman:
"You haven't seen it. Out of your group, one will continue as a normal person until my friend talks to them, another will become the one who erases, and the last will be a friend who simply can't remember."

Amy:
"This is freaking me out. And it's freaking me out even more when a snowman, a flipping snowman is saying all these things..."

Infinity Snowman:
"And out of the other group, two are guardians. One will become a chronicler, but not in the way you think."

Ethan:
"...What are you saying?"

Infinity Snowman:
"Those are your fates. However, only one will choose in the end. I must tell you that before continuing. But, you came seeking an answer...
You were told that I would lead you down the path that will clear your name, and I will give you it.
But all things must first be earned. And of course, you must battle me.
And then, I will reveal the path."

Ethan:
"...
Well, I will fight you, with my friends, correct?"

Infinity Snowman:
"Yes. Let us begin.
I am looking forward to see how much you all have grown. I'll be much more light-hearted later on. But for now, let's fight."

A battle was initated, testing their minds, senses, strength, and desires. It was long and painstakingly difficult, but...

Infinity Snowman:
"...
Congrats. You have exceed expectations and passed.
But first...
Will you accept that this is the point of no return?
Will you accept that beyond this point, you will never be able to come here again until what you have to do is over?"

Ethan:
"No other choice, so yes, I accept."

Infinity Snowman:
"Then...
I will show you the path.
However, I cannot force you down it.
You have to choose it.
It can end two ways, at the very least."

Ethan:
"...But, you said that you would-"

Infinity Snowman:
"Lead the way, and I did. I led you to the path. All you have to do is choose it.
Either find your supposed creator and making them pay for your sorrow... or...
Find the last piece of hope, toss it into the river of despair, and see if it will survive the journey.
And be prepared for what comes next.
It's your choice.
Choices matter. No matter how small they are.
Now, we must part ways...
Goodbye."

A flash of light blinds the group, only for them to be in an empty expanse of void.

Amy:
"Ethan? Joseph? Are you okay?"

Joseph:
"Yes... though completely confused."

Ethan:
"...We are where we need to be."

Amy:
"Huh?"

Ethan:
"Let's go. Because, what comes next... it's going to be very difficult.
I'm going to clear my name, finally."


Chapter 5: Remembering and Forgetting are not Light and Dark
Vincent broke the silence, "You know, I feel like you just..."
"Just what?" asked Phoenix.
"It's just like you're just mainly doing dialogue."
"That's because it is. This story's dialogue was recorded very well, but for actions and such... a bit of imagination would be needed for that."
"So, who did you hear this from?"
"Prophecy, or the ripoff Necronomicon as you keep insisting, had it. The book told of many stories long ago. I have no true way of seeing if it's true or not, but you can always say that it's just a story."

???:
"...
...
...
Leave while you still can... You...can...still...
save... them!"

The creature warned Aerean and their company when they appeared in this world. But it faded away almost as if being here...

Aerean:
"Uh..."

Grievance:
"I feel... that there is something wrong..."

Grievance fades to nothingness.

Aerean:
"Huh?
Wait, what the...?"

Navi:
"No! Wait! I don't want to die! I don't want to fade out of existe..."

Navi fades away.

Aerean:
"Oh no...
..."

With that, that entire group faded out of existence.

Ethan:
"...?
What was that?"

Amy:
"Was that...?"

Joseph:
"I think so..."

Ethan:
"So... You saw them?
Oh no, this is all my fault.
If I just took the blame, they wouldn't have gone..."

Amy:
"Hey, take it easy. You heard the snowman. We can return when we finish, right? They must be there right now! We must have had some... mass mirage, right?"

Joseph:
"...Yeah? That's... right. Right? Besides, we better move on, the snowman also said you have to make a choice, so let's make it and get out of here, please?"

Ethan:
"You're right...
Let's go."

After wandering around in void, they found a throne room of some sort.

Ethan:
"Here we are...
The end."

The Villain?:
"The end of you, anyways.
It was me, etc, etc. Whatever conclusion you made up, I did it."

Ethan:
"Wait what are you tal-"

The Villain?:
"I have no time for games right now."

Ethan:
"You... really did this?"

The Villain?:
"Who else? Amuse me. Who else do you think would do this?"

Ethan:
"..."

The Villain?:
"That's right. No one else would have done it. It was me all along. Insert evil laugh here or whatever."

Ethan:
"...Why-"

The Villain?:
"Now, come and accept your fates by being destroyed.
Fitting you are way below 6 feet under, I won't have to bother with the burial."

The battle began, but as the tide was shifting...

The Villain?:
"Do you really think that's all I have?
Prepare yourself.
Actually, don't. It makes it harder for me to destroy you if you do."

The battle still continued, but with their stubborness to die, the villain must fall.

The Villain?:
"You...
You... all are...
You will never understand why.
And you will never find out.
Look at what's happening.
We all are now...
Well, it finally happens."

Shy Moon, the true villain:
"...It's so vivid.
The next world.
It is coming.
He did it.
It killed everyone.
In the next world...
Those two, fighting over memories, one trying to remember everything just to hold on...
And the other forgetting, just to remove the horrid visions.
And despite their efforts in this world... They won't remember me. They won't remember this world.
They won't even remember that they are...
...
If only... If only I could stay... I could prevent this...
No... The world doesn't allow that.
...
It's time to rest. Their souls will live on to the next world. But everyone else will have to choose an answer to the question that is hidden in plain sight.
I don't know what choice they will make... But hopefully, they'll choose the right choice.
And even if they don't, at least they can learn from it.
Goodbye world. I'll miss you.
Goodbye.
Don't worry...
You'll all meet again.
After the reset finishes."

Chapter 6: Reset
"The reset? What? Phoenix, are you refering to your memory repository?"
"No, Vincent. It's not that. If it was, I wouldn't be telling this story, now would I?"
"Sorry, that just came to mind."
"It's understandable, I guess. Though... the ending could be more happier."
"Agreed."
"Yeah," chimed in Ellen.
"Well, Vincent, Ellen, I think it's time to get some shut eye. The story is done. I probably haven't answered any of your questions, but a story is just a story."
"Yeah, good night, Phoenix." Vincent said as he decided to lay on the ground to try to sleep.
"Night," Phoenix replied.
"Night!" Ellen said.
"Night," Phoenix replied.

"..."
Phoenix fiddled with her fingers. Time has passed, and the others were asleep. There was just another ending. It was more sad in her opinion. But maybe she could tell it to herself?

If Ethan had decided to leave the throne room, and found the piece of hope to throw to despair...

Ethan:
"...Let's toss this over then. I think it's the hope thing.
..."

The Bridge appears.

Amy:
"..."

Joseph:
"..."

Ethan:
"I don't know if it survived or not, but the bridge appearing must be some sign, right?"

???:
"Well, what do we have here?
Intruders... of course."

Ethan:
"Are you sure of that, when we were told to come here?"

???:
"YES. OBVIOUSLY."

Ethan:
"How is that obvious?"

???:
"YOU'RE INTRUDERS."

Ethan:
"And how are we intruders if we were told to come here?"

???:
"You're still unwanted."

Ethan:
"Seriously?"

Elexer:
"Yes, might as well introduce myself. I am Elexer.
You still won't leave?
Well then, I will cause this encounter of ours to become a shocking tale."

Amy:
"BEGONE THOT."

Ethan:
"Oh noes."

Elexer:
"What the heck was that about?
Whatever, I'm just going to shatter all your hopes and dreams right now."

But he failed. And he paid the price for failing. The group moved on.

Ethan:
"Um...?"

???:
"Oh, hey. Been a while."

Ethan:
"What are you doing?"

???:
"None of your concern.
I know why you are here. This isn't the right choice.
Just turn around and leave. This doesn't have to end in violence."

Ethan:
"Then just leave... Aether..."

Aether:
"I can't... And I can't stop you, I can only slow you down.
I'm sorry."

A fight... but Aether's heart wasn't into it.

Aether:
"Ugh... It hurts...
...
I'm sorry."

Ethan:
"..."

Amy:
"Ethan? Are you okay?"

Ethan:
"...
I'm sorry too."

Shy Moon:
"...You have come here...
...I always cared about you, you know?"

Ethan:
"What are you talking about?"

Shy Moon:
"I am the one who created this place.
You, and everyone.
I am the one who has seen everything here.
I was the one who truly planted the false evidence to frame you.
And the reason was simply to protect you by bringing you here.
And that seemed to have backfired, as you are here.
And I know, you have come to defeat me.
...And I still fear death.
Even though death surrounds me."

Ethan:
"...Why? Why tell me this?"

Shy Moon:
"Because. It's the end.
Not of you, but of me.
I don't stand a chance against you.
But... I can't help but struggle against you.
I'm afraid of death. I won't die silent.
I might die an indignified death, but I will die screaming.
Screaming of pain, or screaming for pain. Screaming for something that I hope.
Maybe.
So... Let's just get this over with."

Ethan:
"...Agreed."

A one sided battle went.

Shy Moon:
"...Ah, I see... The end... is in sight..."

Ethan:
"Why?"

Shy Moon:
"More...? Questions...? Ask quickly then..."

Ethan:
"Why did you fight me? Why couldn't you just make a happy world?"

Shy Moon:
"Because... it wasn't meant to be. My life is short. It doesn't deserve a creator like me. I have no choice when this... Backstage exists.
...So, I'll die, screaming for someone else to pick up the torch. When no one will."

Ethan:
"..."

Shy Moon:
"...It's so unreal...
I see things through the lens of reality, while all of the others see through an illusion...
If only, they could put this aside...
...
It's over.
Our world is colliding with the next.
...
I didn't mean it to end this way. I just wanted you to be happy.
I guess I must have developed a fatal fault.
No... That's not a guess. It's the truth. The cold reality of my actions.
Well... As they say, don't dwell on the past...
But is it wrong when the world as we know it is ending?
...
Goodbye.
Goodbye world.
Goodbye friends.
Goodbye. You won't be hearing from me again. You won't ever have to have a problem with me, ever again...
Goodbye.
And I'm sorry.
You all... are dead. And there's no way to fix it..."

Surely it cannot be the end. Phoenix knew that this end was not true. But how about the other one? Was any of it true? She simply thought for a moment, and simply came to the conclusion that stories can just be stories. With nothing else in them.

Phantom Lore

Spoiler

[Phantoms Lore]
The first desire started from the bite of a sweet apple. We’ve been banished from Eden for that sin. And now we’re standing inside a vast orchard. My basket is so large, all the fruits of the world can’t make it full. But is it bad to desire honey when there are flowers? After all, we’re born to pursue happiness.
Happiness became obsession, obsession became greed, and greed hardened to a golden amber. The first happiness, still smiling, is inside it. The first seed of desire originated from the pure need for happiness. The seed, small at first, grew larger and harder, hungering for more. As the days went by, the seed turned into a piece of shiny gem, and enticed by its sheen, a hungry fish swallowed it. But it only made the fish even hungrier. The desires of people go mostly unfulfilled. Most desires are abandoned, but they are not completely gone. They are buried deep in the subconsciousness, ready to spring up at any moment. It only takes a tiny bit of bait dropped into the water for the hungry fish to come up and snatch it.
The Phantoms were those abandoned desires. They were desires gone unfulfilled. And like their counterparts, they wanted happiness. So they consumed what made them happy before. Power, money, honor, and other forms of pleasures. They ended up gobbling up anything they could find. But their will to be happy is still within them, surfacing from time to time. But when all pleasures became scarce, when they could not have the things that made them happy, the Phantoms despaired. They fell to despair.
If someone doesn’t look back, what does that mean?
They do not acknowledge you.
Does not care about you at all.
No need to analyze your action, as a conclusion was already made.
Did you ever scrape the floor, writhing in pain?
It sounds very painful.
But actually you feel nothing even when you lose your fingernails from scraping the floor.
You stare at your lost fingernails, and just before you lose your consciousness,
when you feel you are not yourself anymore, then you start to laugh really hard.
Even though it’s not funny at all.
Did you see the fragments of despair from there?
Or were you staring at your fingernails on the floor?
That pain, that sorrow, that... despair... They just had to keep laughing.
They laughed and laughed, and in a twisted way of fate, they began to enjoy it.
It was their new happiness, the sorrow of despair. A plentiful, abundant source of 'happiness', just for the Phantoms.
They now seek the despair. The despair that people live through. The despair, sins, and all.
They enjoy it. But, like retelling an old joke, they started to stop laughing. But their obsession with happiness continued to grow, so they began to hunt more and more for despair. They craved despair, and while they got even more power every time they consumed despair, they became more reliant on despair.
Every sip of despair, and their greed, obsession, urge, desire to obtain despair multiplied by a hundred times.
Now, the Phantoms were no longer just forgotten desires. They were the embodiment of sins, desires, and insanity. They did everything in their power to grow, despair, and everything they pleased.
...
But...
What about now? What will happen to the Phantoms and their chaotic urges for despair...?
Who will know?

[Ancient Doomsayer]
...
A Phantom, who fell to despair. Yet, despite all that, did not want despair either.
Maybe it was their duty of keeping a god from escaping. Maybe it was mere pride. But they didn't want despair.
Their duty, hopes, and such kept them from embracing the despair. But... Was it for the better?
The Ancient Doomsayer gained their name from the way they gave justice.
At first, they protected like any other guardian, and so the number of creatures that were attacked decreased. But still the Doomsayer felt bad for the creatures that died in the hands of the monster. Doomsayer had a thought, “If I kill creatures first, they wouldn’t be killed by the monster!”
Because of this, the Doomsayer became unaware of concept of death. To this Phantom, death in itself is salvation. If the Phantom killed a lost little girl in the forest, it did not commit murder. It saved the girl from a monster.
What was this monster? It was something the Doomsayer feared. Who, other than the Doomsayer, knew of this monster?
This Phantom is not motivated by despair. They are motivated by a fear and by a pride of being the protector, the guardian, and so, their brand of justice began to spread.
After time passed, and the monster did not seem to come back, the Doomsayer looked around. Surely, if this place is peaceful enough, then the monster, or others like them, must be somewhere else, and he must find them so the Doomsayer can distribute justice to the monsters.
The Doomsayer killed thousands to save the creatures from the monster and hunted the monster. But what if they couldn't find the monster?
And so, the Doomsayer made a scale. The scale tilted according to the sins committed. By finding the sins, they could tell who was the monster, and who was not.
But then someone said, "What if the scale doesn't tilt at all?"
The Doomsayer became worried, so he made scales that tip to only one direction so he can get the result under any situation.
Now... the cities the Ancient Doomsayer visited slowly became more and more silent, and silence doesn't always mean peace.
The Doomsayer got his name from the way he killed entire cities while speaking of a doom that would impend on them. He got his name from his mercy of death and how he spoke about saving others.
He got his name... because he was the very monster who he was hunting for. The monster who would spell out the doom of entire civilizations.
And yet, he continues, oblivious to this fact. Forever.

[Phantom Phoenix]
Doubt.
One day, a question occurred to me. Where did we come from? We were born and left in the world against our will.
Life is full of pain.
They eventually bounded in life. We were only to throw out despair and anger.
We will understand life and soul through our hands.
What is the point of wings? To touch the sky? But if we were to build a tower high enough, wouldn't we be able to touch the sky?
So many questions, and no answers.
The desire to find the answers left Phoenix in despair.
We saw so many things together. Things man should never see. Or at least not yet. We aren't ready to see them.
But, as with the nature with humans, we tried to accept it endlessly. We wanted to understand them in our head whatever the consequences.
In order not to collapse oneself. Because what they can't understand and what they can't reach is not acceptable...
That is what being human is... right?
And so, the Phantom of Despair was created from doubt, seeking for answers, and if they couldn't find any, they would destroy the questions, and anything linked or even remotely related to it.

[Phantom YC001/Akmed]
Let's make a stronger fire in a life like a candle that will someday end.
Life means you will get desire.
Desire...
The very thing that Phantoms are made of.
Phantoms have no souls, as they are empty shells of desire.
For Akmed, he wanted to fit in.
This desire culminated as an empty shell. Instead of fitting in with the world, this Phantom wanted to fit in anything they could find to make them happy into themselves.
When you are just an empty shell, you desire something to fill yourself.
He kept searching, for something to make himself whole. The Phantom desired to fill himself. So he filled himself with despair.
Yet... he always felt empty. He tried to make hearts for himself. He tried to take hearts for himself. He tried to make a soul. In the end, he somewhat succeeded. He made what could be called as a pseudo-soul. It was not an actual part of him, but he has grown attached to it. It stored despair that he carried, trying to make himself full. But despite that, he still doesn't have a soul...
If the Phantom loses his pseudo-soul, turning back into the empty shell he was and still is, he will fall to his knees in despair while clutching his empty chest. As if begging you to not take the only thing he has left.
If not returned to him, he will fill up with despair, then blind anger, and will cut down everything in his path, as if it was a forest and a lumberjack.
He will begin to piece his fake soul back together, and fill it with despair, and with that fake soul brimming with despair, he will be happy once again, but he will never be content.

Calamity Adventure Ending

Reason why Semi-Canonical: It includes other peoples intellectual property, like Orifan1's EnTech.

Since I'm bored, and CA is basically dead, I decided to make a Fallout: New Vegas kind of ending. I lack the actual pictures, but eh.
Also fan speculations and not canonical. Just what I think would have happened. Plus this would probably be after like two decades.

"You've heard of the tale. The tale of an adventure, filled with Calamity.

A tale filled with sorrow and happiness.

A tale with almost no end, until now..."

[Insert image of Shadow's Insignia]
Second: "The Shadows, fulfilling their Chief's orders, improved all of their weapons, and began to patrol the surrounding areas heavily, yet silently. Ever since the Titans fell, they no longer wished to just hold the peace, they wished to spread it by any means. Now, they have begun squandering over any technology outsiders have, in fear of having destructive technology that could risk disturbing the peace."

[Insert image of CabnVPR's fleet and Zetan fleet]
Unknown: "The fleet of CabnVPR resurfaced, for the main fleet had not be destroyed. Once they regrouped, they hunted down the Zetans and Martian forces that took the deaths of their members. Now the skies were filled with color and light, for a war has begun."

Unknown: "The failure of stopping the Plague left the world to rot. It has spread, eventually culminating into Plague Fusion, a substance that began overtaking the world. Now, many civilizations up north have become similar to a civilization that lives in the Plagued Wastelands, the Burrows."

Unknown: "Presumed dead, the Plant Dealer Organization Network was never heard from again, with all of their traces... gone."

[Insert image of EnTech]
Unknown: "Without the tampering of the base, they regained power, and slowly built themselves back to their prime, now ready to seek to increase their prosperity even further than ever."

[Insert image of the Base]
Teridax: "Now, the cabin, the fortress, the base laid dormant, with its inhabitants always staying inside, never reaching out for the outer worlds, always hiding within the base. The creators of this place wished to build the safest place on Earth. As such, the interior housed a large amount of long lasting supplies, all thanks to their inhabitants and potion brewing, which would allow anyone who stayed inside to survive for a very long period of time. But the shelter, while perfectly safe inside, alters the perception of the outside to be even more hopeless. It literally becomes, 'The safest place on Earth.' They no longer wanted to be outside. They no longer wanted to ever see the sun again. They isolated themselves. They may have been bored, but they were safe, and that was the reason why they stayed inside. Only communication that rarely came out was a damaged radio signal, of the radio station they built so long ago...

[In character]Maybe... at least I hope... They decided to finally leave that place. That base, in search for something else. Maybe they could have used one of the portals to leave that place and shake off that feeling of being in that cursed place, to finally cut free of the prison that felt so safe. But for now, I regret building that cabin. I should have never allowed it to exist. I should have never condemn them to that agoraphobia."

[Insert image of the entirety of CA... Somehow.]
Unknown: "With the the calamity that had befallen this world, the world has been put into a disarray of conflicts. Who knew what was going there? Who... survived? What... happened to all of you... Will we ever know...? But with all tales, whether complete or not, they must end."

Anyways, there's my fanmade ending of CA. IDK what I did with my life, but hope you enjoyed it.
Edit: I know I did not include everything, because I can't, and I did not include characters due to my reasons about that, since I dislike controlling characters that I don't have in my 'roster', so to speak.

Endings of other RPs.

Spoiler

Reason for Semi-Canonical: Intellectual property of others are included, like Raelm. Therefore it is semi-canonical, for the reason I don't include other people's canon in mine for the most part.

The stories of the forgotten was found... Who knew their ends.

But as time continued to flow, their fates were sealed.

(Similarly, two decades time sort of thing, though some endings will be cut short. Also, I like bad endings for some reason.)

[Stories of Raelm]
The universe failed to stop the ever growing energy that Raelm produced to absorb fragments of the worlds. All who lived in the universe was either killed or fled. Now Raelm was free, and roaming the worlds, wreaking havoc on all who dared to exist near him.

[Synth 1]
Those within the forest were to never be heard again. All that was found was a cabin. Perhaps they found peace, perhaps they found help, perhaps, they died. For now, their fates are up for debate... And perhaps, this world.

[Underworld]
A world beneath the ground, forgotten to time. There is now a tale, that those who enter never return, a cliche, yes, but it is the truth. The corruption seeped into the ground, and the fates of those lived below were unknown. Did they keep going down? Did they hit hell? Or did they find something else? Wherever they went, no one else would dare attempt to find out.

[Universes Collide]
The world stopped, for time has collided. The being who was trying to control everything was banned from this existence, and without them holding this world together or apart, it broke, shattered until it was gone. Time folding in on itself, as universes' times melded together, now past, present, and future were one and the same, and no one had any.

[Gurandohanmā v1]
The students who were in the school were never heard from again. Despair filled this place, and no one knew what has happened. Not even this ending can tell what has happened. Not... even...

[The Corruption/Geometry Dash]
The Corruption kept spreading, and it keep being contained. As time went on, the corruption flooded this world as the containment couldn't hold it for long. All of the inhabitants turned to whatever they were. But there was an uneasy peace. All of them... were the same. All of them... wanted the same things... So with this in their broken and seemingly feral minds, there was a form of peace that has spread throughout this world.

[Yuu High]
The students kept training and fighting villains. They lived lives that were well and good, though... one betrayed them, and executed almost all of the students. The only ones to survive were the ones in the class of Happy. Some went into despair, others wanted revenge. Some went to have more normal lives, while others chose different paths. Now...as time passed. Yuu High was now feared for creating villains, mercenaries, and criminals, the things it was made to combat.

[System Bugs]
Without proper numbers and lack of members, the resistance was squashed by the super-government. However, there were some survivors, who have left of their own will. One man however, simply ran in a raging firefight, resulting in him seemingly dying of his foolish attack in a blast of light, with no remains left. The super-government was now more powerful than ever.

The fates of the worlds have been issued.
Perhaps we can learn from this.
Or, perhaps not.
Maybe, people, beings, entities, are all doomed to make the same mistakes.

Calamity Adventure Recreation

Spoiler

Reason for semi-canon: Due to being a recreation, it's not everything in its accurate form, accurate form being the actual RP.

What is life? What is reality? Is it something we seek? Or is it something we want to get away from?
...
The thing I don't understand about people is that, despite there being a goal, they obsess over various things. Things that shouldn't even matter. Like an iron door that says restricted on it. It says restricted! Why are you trying to open it? I guess they are just looking for answers. Answers that will never come. They always feel like a piece of their mind is missing, when there is an illusion of something big hidden. And they just got to know if it's real or not. To have a cathartic ending. But no, I won't give you what is behind the door. Throughout this, I have hidden a secret. A secret. That shouldn't matter. So, I leave you. Go, and read the story the way it is intended.

Chapter one: Beginning.
A flash? A light? No, an awakening. Memories seem to be gone, from a child who just awoke. She looked around, only seeing the forest. Instincts said she needed some way to protect herself... but the curiosity of what lies behind all these trees was too tempting. She walked into the forest, seeking an answer.

Walking around yielded a cabin, filled with machinery and scraps of metal, and with a lone being on the porch, enjoying the time on this world. The being takes notice of their new arrival, and addressed her.
"Oh a traveler, I didn't know that people went out this far," spoke the being, clearly shocked that someone would appear out of seemingly nowhere. However, he kept his friendly tone and offer his help like so,"Anyways, you look lost, do you want to take something from here for your journey?"
Appearing friendly enough, the child decided to respond,"Yes, I need a weapon. Any magic weapons?"
Appearing concerned, the being looked at the child and stood up, revealing a short wizard like appearance, with glasses and a tuff of hair sticking out from under their hat. Something seemed wrong about him however, as it seemed as if some colors weren't supposed to be. "Well, I have a flower, and it's able to conduct mana into something like an attack," said the being in a awkward tone, holding out a blue flower.
The child took the flower from the being and said, "Thank you!" only to be interrupted by a wail or a scream off in the distance.
Both of them were confused at the noise, but after a short amount of searching, they found a dragon, with a leg wounded.
"Are you okay?" said the child.
"Does it look like I'm fine?" replied the dragon, clearly annoyed.
The child cringes at the question, but the traces of it immediately fades away. "Don't worry, I'll bring you to the house here!"
The child attempts to lift the dragon, only for the attempt to prove fruitless.
"I can still walk, you know," said the dragon, standing up, partly wincing in pain upon standing on the wounded leg.
The child nodded and decided to introduce herself,"My name is Alpha, what are your names?"
The dragon simply spoke a swift response,"Lavin."
The being decided to introduce himself as well,"My name is Teridax, nice to meet you."
After introducing themselves, something shocking happened. The winds starts grow in speed, as if a tornado was nearby. This continues until loud, booming thunder is heard, as loud as an explosion, almost instantly ceasing the powerful wind. A bright blue light is seen for a few moments coming from the source of the loud noise.
"What was that?" asked Lavin.
Alpha quickly blurted out a response,"It almost looks like something is going to invade. We better get inside!"
"Which direction is it anyway?" replied Lavin, coughing out some blood in the process.
Alpha's expression quickly became distressed at the sight, "It's not too far from here! Can you walk? We can carry you if you are too weak."
Lavin attempts to walk, but the pain of doing so caused Lavin to fall down. "Probably the best," said the dragon.
A piercing scream is heard, of a monstrous creature that flew over the area, searching for the cause of the blue light.
Alpha sees the creature and panicky yelled, "What the heck is that? Come on Teridax, help me with moving Lavin!"
A twist of fate happens, and a figure appears, however by keeping their presence hidden with the cover of foliage, everyone else was oblivious to their presence. While at the same time, a dryad looks up from a sketchbook, clearly sensing the danger that has approached. The Dryad immediately ran to the group of three that she sensed in danger.
Teridax attempts to use a healing magic spell on Lavin, in fear of her status becoming deceased, finding out that Lavin is still alive. The dryad arrives at a simular time, erecting a magical barrier and giving Lavin a fruit, despite Lavin's becoming unconscious due to her pain.
Alpha, clearly worried about Lavin, builds a shelter around her, in order to protect Lavin, and then covered Lavin in a blanket, trying to comfort Lavin. When the shelter was completed, the person who was concealing themselves in foliage revealed themselves by entering the makeshift shelter.
"Um, hi? Do you need something?" said Alpha, upon seeing the figure. The figure pulled their hood back to reveal a child with brown hair and replied, "Could I help?" while Teridax returned from picking some plants in order to obtain some healing herbs for Lavin. Alpha accepted the child's help while Teridax used the herbs in an attempt to heal Lavin. The brown haired child poured a regeneration potion along with a Honeyfin into Lavin's mouth all while introducing herself, "My name is Lune, by the way." with Alpha introducing herself a moment later, "My name is Alpha. I hope we can be friends!"
"Yes, me too," replied Lune, "Anyways, just let the potions do its thing. It will help Lavin, in time."
The monstrous and ferocious creature that was seeking the source of the blue light loomed over the shelter, believing it was the where the source came from. Preparing an attack, it charged a ball of a green colored energy, not the lush green of the jungle, but of a sick, withered, decayed leaf. With its attack, it was about to fling it towards the shelter, only to be hit by a speeding purple ball, breaking the creature's concentration of the attack, and sending it far away temporarily. The purple ball landed on the ground, and uncurled, revealing a purple colored hedgehog, donning a black scarf along with red shoes and gloves. They spoke in a male voice, "Are you okay?"
"Are you?" Lune shot back.
The hedgehog noticed Lavin, pointed at Lavin and said,"Are they okay? I think I can help them!"
Lune, tired, walked to a corner of the shelter and buried her head in her hood, as she lacked sleep for days. Teridax was skeptical of the hedgehog's help, and questioned him,"How can you help them?" to which the hedgehog replied,"I've fixed up a dragon before, trust me. But does any of you know healing magic?" in which Teridax replied,"I am able to conjure some healing magic."
Alpha, tired like Lune, spoke to her, "I am feeling a bit tired as well. This day has been very eventful." However, upon hearing the hedgehog talk about healing magic, Lune answered,"I can also make healing magic, as I'm a mage all my life." The hedgehog took out a fruit that seemed to be brimming with juice."Right after the fruit is crushed in its mouth, I need you two to focus your healing on both its forehead and his wings. Got it?" commanded the hedgehog. Both Teridax and Lune got ready to focus their healing magic, and upon Wither placing the fruit into Lavin's mouth and yelled out "NOW!"... So much happened so fast.

Chapter 2: Chaos
Alpha collapsed while saying "I don't feel so good", causing her head to hit the ground and blood began to seep out of her head. At the same time, Lune and Teridax used their healing powers on Lavin, healing her. The hedgehog saw this and shouted,"What?!" Lavin woke a few moments after and said, "What happened to her?" Panicking, Wither told Teridax to heal Alpha's wound which was seeping out blood.
"Anyone mind explaining what happened?" said Lavin. "This person just fell, hit their head, fell unconscious, and started bleeding. We just did something that could heal them, but we're just waiting to see if it works," explained the hedgehog. After he said that, Alpha's breathing regulates after the healing, resulting in Alpha simply peacefully sleeping, with some shivering because of the cold floor."Phew! That was close! Importance of healers, folks!" said the hedgehog. The dryad walked up to Lavin after seeing her healed, and said,"How are you feeling, friend?" in which Lavin responded, "Hurts, but it's not bad. And who are you?" only for her question to be ignored. Lavin receives a jolt of pain, causing her to fall down.
The hedgehog whispers to himself and then says,"Hey, dragon. Can you tell me where you're in pain at?" even though Lavin was in too much pain to even speak. Around this time, Alpha wakes up from her cold slumber only to see Lavin collapsed on the ground in pain. She yells, "OH MY GOSH ARE YOU OK?!" Upon getting no response, Alpha runs to a corner and begins to bawl uncontrollably, "I'm SCARED!" In order to calm down, Alpha fidgets with her blue flower that she got. The hedgehog decided to have Teridax watch over the others and to share something with everyone else. He held up a gem of some sort that pulses a bizzare aura, as if it was enlightening everyone with some sort of hidden knowledge. Alpha eventually falls asleep in her corner however. This moment was shortlived, as the creature returned and screamed loudly, awakening Alpha and causing her to drop the flower and shatter it. Lune attacked the large creature, somehow realizing its name is the Necro Flyer, but how? Maybe the gem had something to do with it... Despite her attacks, the Necro Flyer kept flying, unfazed by the attacks and screeches loudly in annoyance. Lune swapped her weapons to a crystal, blasting a beam of energy at the Necro Flyer, only causing it to flinch at the very least. The hedgehog, no, Wither Dracos, threw a wand to Alpha's feet. "Here! It's a weapon for you!" he said. Alpha took the Wand of Sparking and fired sparks of flames at the Necro Flyer while Wither Dracos fired arrows from a bow he has. Their combined attempt caused the Necro Flyer to pause long enough for Wither to realize,"The foliage! If we can break the foliage on its chest, it won't stand much of a chance anymore!" Getting annoyed, the Necro Flyer then chooses a target: Wither. It begins to chase Wither while Alpha retrieves a Rod of Discord... from somewhere. "Wait, how did she get a Rod of Discord?" said Teridax, but no one listened. Lune gave Alpha some potions,"You need to tend to Lavin. I can't go with you right now." Alpha acknowledged Lune's unwillingness to leave the battlefield and Alpha used the Rod of Discord to teleport her and Lavin away to an unknown area in the forest. Oh, an eventful day it is, thought Teridax, if only he knew what was coming next...

Chapter 3: Arrival and Aggravation
At the back of a nearby mountain, hidden from view, a strange and mysterious wormhole appears, all at the same time a burst of shadowflames brought a being into the world with two other beings appearing out of seemingly nowhere. The first being looked like a female with demonic wings and simply asked,"What's going on and can I help?" while one of the other two beings said, "My name is Mezmera." Lune replied only to the shadowflame being, saying,"Yes, we really do need help. Desperately. Especially against this Necro Flyer." The sudden explosion cause both Wither and the Necro Flyer to look at it in confusion. However, the Necro Flyer recovered from the confusion almost immediately an fired an energy ball at Wither, hitting him straight on, and then the Necro Flyer flew straight for the new faces. The battle continued, blasts and arrows flying everywhere, entities appearing out of nowhere and disappearing, and people taking turns with healing Lavin while the fight raged on. A loud noise erupted from the location of the mysterious wormhole, but the wormhole disappeared. The Necro Flyer continued to fight the best it could. However, the pure onslaught of attacks, randomness, and whatnot started to panic something. The Necro Flyer screeched. And shattered into fragments that was dissolved into black gas a moment later. A portal appeared in the center of the chaotic dark gas. When Wither held his hand to touch the portal, only for a seemingly robotic voice to be heard,"One out of four champion detected," though you could hear another word when 'champion' was said, sounding like 'inter' but it was cut off by the voice saying the rest of the word 'champion'. A moment of uneasy silence filled the surrounding area. As if all time has stopped. As if no one knew what to do. Lune broke the silence by collapsing in exhaustion. The Dryad ran to Lune and asked,"Are you alright? Let me help," all while casting a wave of rejuvenating energy over her. Lune pointed to Lavin,"I'm fine. Just worry about Lavin. She's more hurt than me." Lavin groaned, "I'm... scared... What's happening?" The dryad came to Lavin and tried to comfort her by saying,""Everything will be alright, dear friend. I'll do everything in my power to heal you to full health again," while repeating her healing energy once again. Wither looked around, "What is this portal? It needs other people to activate it? Um... Well I guess we should see what happens when it is complete, right?" as his curiosity grew about the portal. The shadowflame being attacks the portal, only for it to do nothing, and the other being that appear with Mezmera simply observing what is happening. Wither came to Teridax and told him to put his hand on the portal, so Teridax placed his hand on the portal as well, being the second person to do so. The Dryad, seeing what is happening, touched the portal as well, being the third who touches it as curiosity seemed to be tempting her at the moment. After touching the portal, the Dryad decided to have Lavin touch the portal as well, but carrying her and having her arm touch it, being the fourth and final touch.

Nearby where the wormhole was, the cause of the loud noise near there was a man with a blue vest, light blue shirt and pants, and blue hair who starts to wake up at this point. "Uhhh... w- what happened?" he said, while no one was there. He got up, and as he saw, he was in a world that he knew nothing about. Sure, he could have seen something like this, but never the same. He decided to venture in some random direction.

Meanwhile, the portal activated shortly after the final touch of Lavin. "Four out of four detected. Please wait..." A moment of silence engulfed the area, what could this odd portal hold? "Welcome, prophetic protectors of this world. Though you may change, there will always be more for you. The evils of this world have been stopped, for now. But, for now, enjoy your prize. Vault opened." A burst of energy flew to the four who touched the portal, rewarding Wither a Deaththorn Bow and an Infodex, the Dryad Fyregem with Plague Wand, also in the process revealing her name, Teridax a Healer's Manual, and finally Lavin with a Life Amulet. The portal closes afterwards."I shall wield this Wand honorably," said Fyregem, while tracing the wand's intricate design with her finger. "At least I can treat more serious wounds, but I prefer a kanoka disk," commented Teridax about the Manual. Lavin simply had difficulty putting the Amulet on, but Lune decided to help her with the Amulet.

The person in blue walked around. "Wait a minute... WHERE DID MY ITEMS GO!?" he realized, so in attempt to find it, he starts looking around for items that were his, but to almost no avail. "Shoot... I hope my sword didn't break at lea..." but fate didn't smile upon him, as his blade was broken, only leaving the hilt of the blade, known as Light's Bane, intact. "NO! IT BROKE! *Sigh* At this rate, I'm never going to get back to the others." He notices five gold coins on the ground, probably from the battle against the Necro Flyer, it must have disturbed a stash of the coins, but without this knowledge, he simply remarked, "Where did these come from?" The amount of noise he was making about his sword attracted Lune to investigate, asking when she saw him,"Hey! You need some help?" Back at the area where the Necro Flyer was destroyed, Wither got everyone to help make a base. Reusing materials from the shelter, the cabin, and even more, they got to work. But one question arose in Wither's mind... "Where's Alpha?!"

Chapter 4: A to Z.
Alpha was indeed missing. She had disappear for some unknown reason, and as everyone else was busy working on the creation of the base, no one noticed her leaving. Lune heard Wither's question, and she was shocked that Alpha went missing. Now, she had a choice to make. Either find out more about the man in blue, or to find Alpha.

She chose to find Alpha. The man in blue immediately called out to Lune after seeing her leave, "Wait up! I need help!" chasing her in the process. Checking anywhere she could Lune looked and looked while the base became bigger, larger as Wither and Fyregem kept building, using wood for the walls and support. After a few hours, Lune found Alpha, in solitude on a mountain cliff after following something that looked like a trail up the mountain, chilled by the high altitude of the mountain. "Alpha! I thought I lost you! You know how hard it is to find you? I was panicking and I was mainly going everywhere... and... Alpha, please come back down with me." Alpha stared at Lune, in a cold-hearted rage, and after taking a big breath, yelled "NOOOOO!!!" and unleashed an energy blast, almost knocking Lune off the mountain. Alpha's body began to glow ominously. As if there was something very wrong. As if one single emotion overtook her. "Wait!" Lune cried out, attempting to regain her balance,"I just want to talk!" Alpha simply rejected her plead by saying, "I don't want to!" and followed up her words by ramming into her. The man in blue at this point, was simply in an awkward state, as he simply followed Lune up here. "What is happening here?" said the man in blue. Lune tried to plead again, "Just... Please. Tell me what is bothering you... I can help." Upon hearing the man in blue's words, asked, "Who are you, a-and... why are you following me?" The man in blue replied,"My name is Murphmario, and would you two-!" Alpha began to glow very brightly, a light so blinding that you would have to make sure your eyes were close very tightly or else risk going blind permanently. Lune responded to the blinding light by using a sonic blast, loud enough to cause a large pain in her own eardrums. Lune fell back, weakened by the blast. Closing her eyes tightly and wanting the madness to end.

The base was finished. "Looking good! How is everyone doing?" asked Wither, to which Fyregem responded, "I'd say we did a fantastic job with this! Shall I prepare supper?" To which Wither gave a thumbs up to show he agreed. Lavin was resting, Teridax probably was reading the books he has read over and over from his cabin, while the shadowflame being and Mezmera were getting their room to their liking. At this point, both Murphmario and Lune came to the base, without Alpha, proving that they failed in convincing Alpha to return. Lune went to Lavin's room, and decide to give Lavin more medical care, then went outside. It was night. A clear, pure, beautiful night, filled with stars, nebulas, and even had a full moon. Lune stared at the endless sky and the shadowflame being came up to watch the sky as well, and Teridax walked onto the porch to enjoy the sky. It was comforting. A darkness that was calm and serene, as darkness is that which draws out the greatest potential, as the darkness represented a blank slate to write on, a world to shape, the imagination of anyone really, but for some, infinity can be a terrifying abyss. Maybe that's why people fear the darkness. Maybe. As the night grows old, everyone gathered in the base, only missing Alpha, to share a supper together. Happiness, joy, all were at the supper. But of course, the uneasy feeling of someone not being here devoured some people for the inside out, like Lune. After the supper was finished, everyone began to do their own thing. Wither checked the Infodex he had obtained from the portal, Teridax went back to look up to the stars and speaking to himself about what could have been, and Lavin went back to her room to rest. Murphmario searched for a pickaxe, only to be given a tin pickaxe by Wither. All was well. Ah yes, all was well, here that is, for something terrible has happened.

Chapter 5: Wounded and infected
Alpha laid in the middle of a flat area in the woods. She must have gotten down the mountain to search for the base, but she collapsed, and is bleeding out, as her eardrums were damaged by Lune's sonic blast, and her head was damaged by falling onto the ground. This was a calamity, as no one was here to help. She would die alone, with no one here to know. But, as luck would have it, Murphmario wanted to go mining, so with tin pickaxe in hand, he trips over Alpha in the woods, only adding to her injuries. Getting up, Murphmario saw the sight and said, "Wait... isn't that the girl that I saw earlier... Wait, is this my blood? Or is it... Oh my goodness! She's... bleeding! Is she alive?" Checking for a pulse, Murphmario finds it, only for it to be somewhat faint. "Oh no, what can I do, what can I do?! Wait, I can find some healing potions in chests in the caves, but I can't leave her here! She'd get killed by the wilderness if she was left alone. I'm sorry, this might result in you losing more blood, but I can't leave you here." Murphmario picked up Alpha, and searched for a cave. Upon finding one, Murphmario laid Alpha on the ground to get a potion. He found an unlit torch on the ground. However, Alpha began to awake, and accidentally fell and rolled down the cave, knocking Murphmario over, stopping when there was a rock in the way. "Oww..." Alpha groaned. "Are you okay?" Murph worriedly called out, to which Alpha's response was "No... OWWWWWW!" Murphmario panics at the scream, and in doing so frantically runs around to find a chest, presumably left behind from a civilization long ago. He didn't find any potions, but he aquired other loot like climbing claws and rope. Alpha got up, but she seems to be in some sort of perpetual rage. "I WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING!!!" she yelled, so loud that many parts of the cave collapsed and the inhabitants heard it as well. Almost everyone in the base went outside, to see the sun rising. Lune, the shadowflame being, Mezmera, and the being that appeared with them ran towards the sound. When they got there, they saw Alpha, brightly glowing with flames and energy, as if some inner power was unleashed and threaten to consume the whole world in a rage of pain and suffering. "Stop it! Go away!" Lune was confused, the two statements didn't make sense. Alpha said she wanted to destroy everything, so why not have everything come to here when it would be easier to destroy it, but instead she says get away? Could it be that her friendship is preventing her from wanting to hurt others? Lune didn't know, and she yelled the first thing that came to mind after this, "What is going on?!" Murphmario yelled, "Calm down! Please!" And like magic, Alpha stops her rage, and falls down. It would seem that she had exhausted herself in using all her power. Getting Alpha back to the base, they began treatment on Alpha so she can recover her health. After some time, Alpha awakens. "W-what happened?" She noticed that Teridax was taking care of her at this time, and he responded to her question,"Long story, I'll tell you later, but right now, you are severely hurt." Alpha, disregarding that fact, tried to get up while saying,"I... want to see... Lavin."
Teridax replied,"But you're not okay!"
"But... Can you carry me at least? I might not be able to walk but, please?"
"Fine."
Teridax carried Alpha to Lavin's room. On the way, Murphmario bumps into them and says "I got a health potion for her. Here. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some mining to do," to which Murphmario walked to a cave just to mine. Alpha drank the potion and stood up."Okay, let's see Lavin." While both of them visited Lavin, Wither had some other things to do, he was exploring the entire world, trying to find more and more knowledge about what this world was. But then, he felt a pain in his chest. "I...ugh....something's wrong...." He ran as fast as possible back to the base, only to collapse when he got there. He was immobilized by a strange illness, a plague. He coughed, and from it was dark green spores, the same shade of green as the Necro Flyer. A deep purple being gazed at the sight, appearing here, as he discovered this world. He saw this and took pity on Wither, by emitting a cleansing light onto Wither, purifying him of the infectious plague inside of him. The being in purple appeared and said, "Heya, I guess you were dead worried there, pal." But no one laughed. "Hmph, I saved that hedgehog, but this world seems empty! No birds, no slimes, no bunnies, just that deep poisoned air that lingers around," the man in purple said, completely oblivious to the world beyond the trees. He returned his focus on Wither and said, "Hey you. What happened to this world?" He got no answer, as Wither couldn't answer him, for he fell onto the ground, as the bright light also had caused him to become exhausted. "Crud, now I am alone and these weird things are starting to get nasty," said the man in purple as he pulled out a device. Using it, he detected the base and he teleported both himself and Wither to it using his powers. As a cruel twist of fate, this was the exact time Murphmario returned home, now with a Magic Mirror imbued with the power to teleport him back home. This coincidence caused Murphmario to be crushed by both the weight of Wither and the man in purple. Murphmario groaned,"Ugh...why...? Get ...off!" Murphmario got up and saw the man in purple, and asked, "Who are you, and why are you in this house?!" The man in purple raged at the artifact, "The heck?! This artifact have never betrayed me!" His focus then came to Murphmario, and he said, "Anyways, sorry for that, who are you?" He immediately realizes what Murphmario said, "Heh, I guess I go first, my name is . . . well, I don't like saying my true name, but you can call me Artheus, the great Arcanum wielder," which shown by his confidence could show him to have a large ego. Meanwhile, Wither groaned from falling on Murphmario, "Wha-what? Ugh, what's going on? Why is everything so dark? Ugh...." At this point, two other people have already gather here, so they felt it would be right to introduce themselves immediately.
"My name is Murphmario, Nice to meet you."
"Lavin."
"I'm Teridax, nice to meet you."
Artheus then gave Wither a drink of a potion. Wither then screamed in shock, "AGH! What in the...! Gosh darn it! Anyways, hi, Artheus," proving that Wither was aware of the conversation. "More people, why are you still alive if the plague is roaming the...? I don't think I am okay, let me," Artheus starts vomiting black spores and he falls onto the ground, "Crap, search in my backpack for a green stone in a box, its called Bezoar, and make me eat it." Murphmario does what he says and force feeds Artheus the Bozoar. Artheus awakens, "I am better now, it tastes like a real good mixture between crap and more crap. About that, I came from. . . a distant land, and there, the Plague is ravaging, it seems to be everywhere and we must stop it. You might as well ask why I carry all these things, and well, in... the place I come from, the Plague is advanced, and it creates very powerful monsters that constantly attack us in bloodlust. I have researched it, and it seems to be because of an old god that has died, and its blood mixtured with the things, and now the spores are here. I have tried countless times to defeat that god, and its useless, but in this timelin... I mean, this time, it might as well work." Murphmario responded to the very long explanation by saying, "Well I've fought my share of infectious evils before, so I'm all for fighting against this one."
Lune walked out of Lavin's room, which also had Alpha in there, noticed Artheus, and said, "Who are you?" in which Artheus responds with, "I am Artheus The Great Arcanum Mage!" Teridax hears this and says,"Wait, didn't you say wielder before-" which Artheus interrupts with a "SHUT UP".
"Fighting an otherworldly plague, battling giant infected birds, and taking down a corrupted leader?" questioned Wither, while being completely sarcastic, "Not only is that an important thing to do, it sounds like fun! Who's coming?" Both Murphmario and Lune agreed to the sarcastic question. Artheus immediately freaks out by saying, "WAIT, NO, DON'T GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!!!"

Chapter 6: Hell no, to the no no no.
At the same time that Artheus said not to leave the base, a plague monster breaks the base in half. "WHAT IN THE MOTHER OF-!" yelled Wither, desperate to dodge the attack coming from the monster. Given the large threat here, everyone in the base came out and began firing at the plague giant, however, only magic like attacks actually damaged it, as the creature's composition of some sort of jelly and spore proved to be the case. The onslaught continued, and many times Lavin was placed in grave danger, but she was saved by Lune. "Why do you even bother keep me alive when there's nothing in it for you?" cried Lavin, showing a sense of uselessness in her. Lune simply responded to the question, "That's what friends do." The battle raged on, and the plague colossus was on the losing end. The plague creature spoke,"IF I MUST DIE, I'LL TAKE SOMEONE WITH ME!" With that, the creature jumped after Lavin and Artheus, igniting in the process due to the heavy damage that the creature withstood. Both Wither and Murphmario lunged forward, attempting to get in the way to spare the lives of Lavin and Artheus. It seemed like time has slowed down, for a tiny bit. Then it resumed, with the plague colossus colliding with the two, creating a large cloud of smoke and destruction. It seemed they were too late, yet, when it settled, it was seen that Artheus shielded Lavin from harm, taking the entire hit for them both and probably adding onto his ego of Arcanium wielder. A loot portal appears, just like the one the Necro Flyer had. While Teridax and Fyregem healed Artheus from his injuries, Murphmario, Lavin, Wither, and Artheus touched the portal, rewarding them with a Daedalus Stormbow, Yharim's Heart, Warding Ankh Shield, and Nebula Arcanum. Time passed, a building for townspeople was built on a mountain for support, Alpha apparently returned from an unknown land, later to be known as the Alphan Dimension, general chaos that comes with injury, especially with Artheus screaming in pain over accidently hitting himself with a hammer while trying to forge a sword, and of course, a tragedy.

Lavin flew up high, to a mountain and then descend until she hit the ground. A shadowed being placed a mask on Lavin, fusing with her, and disappearing as if it was never there. With their job finished, the shadowed being left. After that, the people who came out to investigate the noise reacted in some understandable and in some odd ways.
Wither reacted by saying, "LAVIN!? Guys, what happened?!"
Artheus looked simply not surprised and said, "Hmph, so she actually did it," implying that he knew about the fall.
Alpha couldn't even make out words, as she was crying too much to do so.
Lune, was simply shocked, and asked, "What happened?!" for she wanted to know why Lavin did this.
Murphmario, seemingly in a monotone voice said,"...We should probably get a lucky horseshoe in case this happens again."
Teridax was simply shocked, and left, for who knows what?
Everyone else rushed Lavin to her room, and began a treatment process. Crude, but effective, as her vitals healed afterwards.
A creature appeared near the base. It looked like one of the plague creatures, however it did not attack. It wanders into the forest... to never be seen again, or so they thought.
Time passes once again, and in that time, Wither has created White Meltal Armor for Lavin and Artheus, Wither, and Teridax made armor for themselves. Artheus with a purple energy sort of armor, Wither with steel and defensive armor, and Teridax with Protosteel Armor, even though it didn't completely look new.
Wither whistles and remarks,"Wow, you did pretty great at Smithing, Teridax! Did you have a lot of practice with this?" in which Teridax replied, "I have had a few schematics that I got from a friend I knew. All I did was follow them to the letter."
Time passes again, as many people have not much to do anymore, a Farm was constructed and Artheus, Lavin, Murphmario and Alpha go to a mysterious dungeon and defeat its master, Skeletron, in a matter of seconds thanks to Artheus, in which they face against the monstrous Eater of Worlds.
Teridax grew bored, but maybe he should embrace his old ways once more, he thought. He looked around, no one was there, so he deemed it was safe. Going to his desk, retrieved a substance known for creating a place known as the Valley of the Maze in mere seconds, used by his own species. He used the substance, adding more to the base, the most recognizable addition being the Arc, a biosphere used for testing and replication.
While everyong finished up defeating the Eater of Worlds, Murphmario commented,"Well, that was a fight, and also a reminder to not run out of Frostburn Arrows." Upon returning from the battle with the Eater of Worlds, Murphmario was shocked at how fast the base expanded, but Teridax simply acted as if they were always there in the first place.

Story of Animus Viral

Spoiler

The Yharim Clone still exists, but isn't me anymore.

After The Jungle Tyrant Yharim cursed Calamitas for her betrayal, he then experimented with two clones, one was injected with the souls and spirits of the strongest creature that could be found. That clone became more unstable and unpredictable, it's eyes grew larger and it infused itself with a tablet, that it only says "NO U" only. After some time passed ,because of rust ,it stopped working and started to say Syntax Error. This was THE LORDE. The other clone was almost exact replica of The Jungle Tyrant. Injected with a few mysterious experimental chemicals, the clone could absorb energy from any attack and become immune to it immediately and duplicate the same attack. After Yharim's disappearance, THE LORDE was sealed in the temple and the other clone was expelled from the temple. As he made his way through the world, most of the other townspeople attack him for the Yharim's reputation, however, the clone was kinder than Yharim because, even though he was a clone of Yharim, he did not share the same memories so he still treated all with kindness. He still roams the world but his reputation changed him. He has a new name: Animus Viral.

Non-Canonical since Last Post Wins.
It all started when Ultimate snowman 46 and Bubby Aurora were talking in 1337 language and Animus Viral couldn't understand this so he wished to end this trend then Bubby Aurora declared war against Animus, so Animus started to use death traps to attempt to defeat them, but it quickly escalated so Animus then used the power of the Ultimate Moon Lord's power and the Lunar Apocalypse was even more powerful than ever before! However, in the process, the power had created two beings, Mezmera and the LORDE clone of Ultimate snowman 46. Ultimate snowman 46 then attempted to fry the second soul of Animus in Mount Doom but found out that Animus has stole the powers of Mount Doom and in fact, all of power in the Infinite! In the process of attempting to destroy the soul, Ultimate snowman 46 had accidently fused the two souls of Animus together and he gained more power to retreat to the tenth dimension. Bubby Aurora then wants to leave and Animus allows her to leave. The snowman then wants to bargain for an unknown reason. Bubby Aurora returned then opened a gateway to the tenth dimension only to find out it was a trap! After subduing the trap, Huzbubber Tim and Dan M. enter only to retreat to a bunker. Then Bubby Aurora absorbed the power of the Bosses, Corruption, Crimson, and Hallow! Huzbubber Tim then wondered if there was Sprite Cranberry in the bunker and so Animus gave him some Sprite Cranberry. Then in the following battle was ended by Animus absorbing all sources of energy, magic, and power and released it such a blast that the Infinite was completely obliterated. And so the world was destroyed, but by initiating the destruction of the world, it has recreated the world before the war, a world of old, now with the memories of new. A new Timeline with the memories of one that is destroyed. Will there be peace, or will there be conflict? Will the war repeat? Only time will tell.

"Birds of a feather stuck together."

Spoiler: Phoenix

"..."

Spoiler: Twilight

"Some things may not have a reason to exist, but they have an intention to exist. Myself included."
Name: Phoenix/Twilight/??? (O-02-63-A)
Gender: Female
Species: Presumably human, though there are many things that would set her apart from humans, for example, her wing.
Occupation: Unknown
Element: Dark/Shadow
Mana color: Red/Yellow/Black
Age: Unknown, however, to most people, she appears as a pretty much normal 18 year old.
Story: Her history is nowhere, unknown.
Only those who are truly her friend will know what her story is.
Personality:
She appears to be timid when she is left alone, and when with others, she appears to be playful, usually with weapons or even normal toy, in a way as a child at heart. However, given her insanity, or more accurately, psychopathy, she now and then is twisted with her views, sometimes giving stories a darker tale. She can be seen as a person who lacks empathy, similarly to a child who is willing to take things with no consideration for others. However, she can still try to understand. During her hysterical state, her personality can shift for the time being. She suffers from Metathesiophobia, and dislikes *most* changes, though she doesn't mind changes involving eradication of certain factions or people.
As her personalities change, so can her own self. She tends to lean three different ways with personality, with two adjectives describing one of the three personalities, being hot-headed and aggressive, prideful and caring, or just and cold-hearted.
Her personality also affects her hair color, more positive personality or feelings results in lighter hair, and more negative feelings results in darker hair, though changes seem to be not noticeable unless very quick mood swings or something.
Despite her experience with chaos and havoc, she still has a lot to learn about the world.
Weapon:
"The end has ended, a doom finished, she saw too much, and she became it. Just like anything else, it began with small hope. The desire for peace now only exists in fairy tales, it seems."
Twilight - Twilight is a sword with a blade of shadow with gazing yellow eyes. Its blade consists of black bar, covered in black feathers and yellow eyes. The hilt of the blade is made of a golden metal, with cross-guard consisting of white feathers, black feathers on the background and chunks of flesh with teeth on them, which cover part of the blade. The damage this can do will depend on how powerful Phoenix is. The more mana/souls/power she has, the more powerful the blade will become.
Appearance:
She has heterochromia, two differently colored irises, represented by her left iris being dark red while her right iris is bright yellow. Her eyes becomes blood red when in her hysteric state, and her irises will swap colors with each other. She has long hair that colored grey/gray that can change shade upon will, ranging from silver to dark grey/gray depending on mood, occasionally with two white hair pins on both sides of her head. She is light skinned, and can be described as constantly pale. On her back, she has one wing sticking out of her left side of her back which is colored black and has yellow, piercing eyes that never close on it. The wing also appears on Lamp. She does not wear gloves and does not have fake nails or nail paint thing unless you include the occasional blood as that.
She wears a red, long sleeved, almost plain shirt with a large, yellow, oval eye below the collar and below it is a monstrous mouth with sharp teeth that can open up to consume objects which appears as an odd wrinkle or as a slightly darker red star shape on the shirt when it's closed. She wears a large black coat or jacket with bandages strapped across it, with sharp, bloodstained white feathers on the sleeves. The fur collar part of the coat is black, with more yellow, round, gazing eyes on it. On the back of the coat is a symbol of one main eye contained in a red diamond shape in the middle, a balance behind the diamond contained eye with a white feather in both scales, only the left in above the right scale despite both feathers being the same, with more yellow eyes above, and teeth lined at the bottom of it. Parts of the symbol is covered up by bandages that are on her coat. She wears black pants, with even more bandages. She wears dark gray boots with crimson red socks underneath. Unlike the rest of her outfit, the boots and socks are nothing special and are plain. She prefers to use Twilight in this form.
Abilities:
She retains most of these abilities when in a different form/personality.
Active:
Needs to be activated in order for use.
Abnormality Summoning - They can summon abnormalities, both existing and those that haven't. Tool abnormalities are summoned without penalty, besides the effects of said abnormality. Other abnormalities usually need other objects to create the abnormality.
Turbo - A rarely used ability. She can hover from one place to the other very quickly using her Turbo ability. However, she can only do this in bursts, cannot hover for too far, and must rest after three turbos. She cannot turn while doing turbo and will only go in a straight line and is limited by distance. She can stop herself at anytime however, including over a ravine to fall down into it. She dislikes this ability due to being prone to crashing.
EGO - She is able to extract Extracted Graded Objects from entities. Also gives her the ability to make E-Boxes. Only she(*Most* of her forms include), Arbiter and Joelle has the ability to extract EGOs.
Damage shift - By shifting certain attributes about her attacks, she can shift the type of damage she does, between Physical Trauma(Gunfire, explosions, sword slashes, etc. Represented as the color red.), Psychological Trauma (Mental corruption attack, attacks that affect the mind. Represented by the color white.), Compound damage (Attacks that affect both body and mind, at cost of being weaker. Represented by the color black.), and direct damage to one's soul (Obvious. Represented by pale.).
Misc:
Dependent.
EGO - Dependent on type, she can swap EGOs at will, if helped by Arbiter, and to use other powers of the being where the EGO came from. However, she cannot swap to Beak, Justitia, Lamp, or Paradise Lost without taking on their personalities completely. She can also summon Tool Abnormalities at will.
Memory Repository - Memory wipes are ineffective against her, and she is able to recall objects from her past. She gains access to other EGOs through this ability, and can summon Arbiter when needed through this ability. It also renders her immune to the SAVE, RESET, TRUE RESET, etc. powers of Undertale and Deltarune because I'm not dealing with that crap.
Planeswalk - She is able to travel through dimensions and universes. She can carry small objects and their clothing, but not, for example, food or other people that aren't planeswalkers. EGO is an exception to this rule. She disappears when she planeswalks in a blast of negative energy in the color of red, yellow, and black.
Forestshift - She can shift her dimension, from normal to the Black Forest and back. When she shifts, she will no longer be present in the normal dimension, and instead exist in the Black Forest. The Black Forest is a desolate forest, with no sun nor moon shining on it. Only Phoenix's lantern. All sorts of animals used to play here, only to be driven out by a fierce monster. Phoenix came looking for the monster, only she couldn't find them. There was nothing. There were no creatures, no sun and moon, and no monster. For now, there is only Phoenix, and a black forest in eternal cold, dark night.
A.B. - "We must not forget that forest once so beautiful and peaceful. And apocalypse shall come after that." She has the ability to transform into three different forms, embracing certain attributes. A creature that punishes, a creature that seeks, and a creature that judges. She can only be these creatures for a short period of time, to which she must rest before using it again.
Identity change - She can change who she is dependent on her hysteric state, her own state, and the state of things near her. She can then turn into Beak, Lamp, or Justitia willingly. Belief/Paradise Lost is the only transformation that is done unwillingly.
Passive:
Omnipotence - She has the ability to use any element possible with magic, i.e. fire, water, etc. Doesn't mean she will.
Nightmares can't be gotten so easily - This is shared with all of her forms, Sephirah variant, and Arbiter. She cannot be scared that easily, and vague details like "Your greatest nightmare comes into the room" means nothing to her. You must actually describe the nightmare/horror/abomination/etc. And if it is able to scare her/send a chill down her spine/[insert desired psychological effect here] from the details mentioned, then it will do said effect. But if it isn't, it won't do the desired effect on her. This is due to the fact that she seen some horrifying... stuff in her day.
Through Dark Twilight - She has some level of night vision. While shrouded in shadow, she moves faster and virtually undetectable except to magic users.
Anticipation of Armageddon - When in a clear presence of a boss, she gains a small buff to all her stats. Being in the presence of an abomination, Eye of Cthulhu or the Crimson biome counts for example, she will gain a regenerative buff that periodically heals her for small health.
Bird's eye - She can see through any of her yellow eyes, including those that seem to be a part of her outfit, including the eyes on her coat, shirt, and wing.
Hope - She has a constant hope in her soul, warding off despair. She will not give up until the last straw.
Notable Skills:
Biomedical - She has background knowledge about biology and medical subjects due to her time working before becoming this. However, given her mental instability, she cannot always access this knowledge.
Abnormality - She has background with the odd and strange, magic and monstrous forces in the worlds. She also knows how to extract EGOs from abnormalities.
Iaido - She can unsheathe, attack, and sheath her sword in less than a second. She is able to sheath and unsheathe quickly and can respond to attacks quickly.
Skilled Twilight - She charges sword for a while, after which performs 5 hit combo: first 4 strikes deal different types of damage and 5th strike deals all 4 types of damage. While performing this attack, the user will teleport around its target.
Traits:
Unstable - She has lost most of her sanity due to taking mental damage constantly. Due to this, she gains an immunity from being grossed out or sickened by gore. And if Old Man Mcgucket is to be believed, immune to mental attacks, since "you can't break what's already broken". However, it does give her the flaw of hysteric states.
Planeswalker Spark - The spark gives its owner increased magical power and skill, and allows the power of Planeswalking. It as well grants a power to replenish mana, and use mana from almost any world, though she will have some repercussions from using mana she never used.
Child at Heart - She is a child at heart, resulting in her being more immature than most people. This results in her lacking some or all empathy due to her childish.
Management:
She responds to the four works in order of best to worst: Attachment, Repression, Insight, and Instinct.
Possible Restriction:
New world - They do not regenerate as much mana as usual, due to them being not used to use this world specific mana. However, in certain areas, usually another world, they can use their normal mana.
Flaws:
A major flaw she has is her hysteric state. This can both benefit and hinder both allies and enemies. Despite the possible benefits, she shouldn't be put into a hysteric state too much, otherwise she may become too unstable.
Hysteric State/ Qliphoth Meltdown - Otherwise known as the appropriate representation of a veteran employee who managed to survive the literal herald? of the apocalypse during everyday abnormality suppression, barely able to contain the crippling anxiety and depression sustained from such a horrific event. This is where they go uncontrollable in certain instances, though she will calm down afterwards. It is unknown what triggers it, but here's the possible consequences of having her go into a hysteric state. A counter silently keeps track of how frequent her Hysteric state will appear, and it is suggested not to temper her. Also, since this is a cause of a Qliploth Counter, and not by losing sanity points, despite it being permanently in the negatives at this point, it is not considered panicking in the terms of L.C.

"So you’re to blame! If it weren’t for you, it wouldn’t have gone this way."
1. Frenzy - This is where Phoenix will attack anyone in her sight, regardless of ally or enemy. This is the most common effect of the hysteric state.

"Even if I survive here, I will suffer for the rest of my life..."
2. Worthless - This is where Phoenix will become immobile for a moment, due to doubts about her own worth, and what she is doing. Certain harmful effects may come from this, including self destructive effects.

"Hope everything disappears. This company, us, you…"
3. Wander - This is where if fear has gotten to her, usually through hallucinations. In this mode, she will flee from creature or hallucination or what she would be fleeing from and enact a panicked state, which may panic others.

Hysteric State 2 (Punishing, Judging, and Seeing):
These can only be active if Phoenix is in her main form. She cannot use any of these if she is in another form, i.e. Lamp.

"I will kill everyone. I will destroy everything. There’s no meaning in anything, after all."
1. Punish - A violent version of Worthless. She will begin to attack random entities if possible. She will prefer panicked entities. Unlike the other states, it will reset her state back to normal after around half a page passes. If she is damaged during this however, she will go into a frenzy, swapping her attack for a large jaw attack that will do large physical damage, and will aim it towards the person or item that damaged her. If it lands, she will return to her normal state. If not, she will continue to chase the attacker. If there is no entity who attacked, and she simply got damaged by other effects, i.e. falling rocks in a cave, she will stay in her Punish state, but will not frenzy. This will only be active if she feels incredibly neglected and if she is in her Worthless state, or it gets triggered.

"Their roar. The resonation between you and me. The incandescent wisdom…"
2. Judge - A violent version of Wandering. When an entity is in the same room/area as her, she will stop to summon and hold their golden balance for a moment, and after a gleam, all targets in the same room will be damaged with ethereal damage directed at the soul. If a soul is not available, it will deal mental damage to the target. She needs some time to perform the attack again and will continue to wander. This will only be active if she is in an area that is heavily patrolled or has very low 'karma' and if she is in her Wandering state or it is triggered.

"A shepherd tends to the sheep to take wool and meat. It’s just like what we do."
3. See - This is a much more deadly version of her Frenzy, she will begin attacking all entities nearby with increased attack. She will now and then ramble about trying to save them from being killed by the other threats, but by killing them first. This is only active if three or more other bosses are active and if she is in a Frenzy state or her frenzy state is triggered.

Hysteric State 3:
Able to be triggered on the very rare occasion where it is possible for *all* of her Hysteric State 2s to be activated.(feeling neglected, three or more bosses active, and in an area that's heavily patrolled or has low karma) When she goes into hysteric mode of any type, she will immediately go to Hysteric State 3. She will transform into a giant creature of insanity. It can deal strong physical damage to the entities in front itself, with its talons, shaking the nearby ground when hitting the floor. It can charge a yellow orb, to attract random entities in the area to itself, and it can open its wings and charge yellow beams on its eyes to shoot them to nearby entities. It can use a golden balance, to mark random entities in the nearby area, to inflict a deadly debuff that can be fatal. Finally, it can also open the big red mouth in front its body to deal drastic physical damage to the entities in front it. She will stay in this form until she is suppressed by enough attacks. She will be unconscious after she is suppressed, and will need to rest.

Occupation: Unknown
Element: Fire/Light/Dark
Mana Color: Black/Yellow
Age: Same as Phoenix
Story: A sudden thought struck her. ‘If I kill creatures first, no creatures will be killed by the monster.’ Then, the forest found peace. Lamp is certainly unaware of concept of death. Creatures can be categorized into two. First, creatures that knows what death is very well and will attack to kill. Second type of creatures are aware of the concept of death but does not have ill will in its attack. Lamp is neither. To Lamp, death in itself is salvation. If Lamp decided to eliminate a lost little girl in the forest, it did not commit murder. It saved the girl from a monster. Despite this behavior, Lamp would not attack other if it was suppressed by their other personalities, or if it deemed it unnecessary.

Other Items:
“I am aware of complete solitude. I take the price of my gifting of silence. When the original owner comes, I shall take the price. –P”
Price of Silence - "Time’s wasting, time’s running out… They are nothing but meaningless tantrums." An old watch. Clicking of gears can be heard in close range. A phrase saying “Time flows like life. Life flows like time.” is written on the back. It is unclear what is the meaning this phrase is trying to convey.

Gender: Male (In spirit or mentally, not physically.)
Species: Unknown
Occupation: Unknown
Element: None/Tech
Mana Color: Red/White
Age: Same as Phoenix
Story: People have been committing sins from a long time ago. ‘Why do they commit such a thing? Even when they know that it is bad’, Beak wondered.
‘It must be because they don’t have someone that punishes bad people. Foul things will never happen if I take that role myself!’ Beak moved out of the forest that it had been living for the lifetime, and never went back.
Personality: Hot-headed. Rash. Willing to stir up trouble, even when unnecessary.
Appearance: Red combat armor with white clothing under the main parts of the combat armor, similar to Fallout 4 combat armor. Sleek without a dent, the suit was originally very small, barely wearable by a child. As it is soaks up blood, it's chest part wriggles as if it were alive. She also wears a gold necklace with a beak as the pendant.
Weapon: She mainly uses a pistol while in this appearance, named after her. The jagged tip of the projectile delivers substantial pain to the victim.

Personality: Just. Fights for what they think is right, and will not stop fighting, even in the end.
Appearance: A black suit with a black jacket with a yellow outline along with white bandages strapped to it. She also wears a light blue undershirt under it all. She rarely wears a mask made of bandages, only showing her eyes and part of her mouth. She does not have any scars or any unsightly features under the mask, since her face looks like a normal girl's. She can take the bandage mask off without penalty. The bandage mask does not cover her hair. A usual alternative of the mask is simply having a blindfold made of bandages, showing the rest of her face, but not her eyes. She prefers to use Justitia while in this form.
Weapon: Justitia. The weapon's blade consists of a black bar wrapped in gauze. The hilt of the blade is made of a golden metal of the same color of the scales that the bird carries, with the cross-guard consisting of the feathers, with the background black having a similar texturing to the normal body of a bird.
Abilities:
Justice Slash - A quick vertical slash dealing continuous low damage, and a quick succession of 4 attacks dealing high damage, followed by a small vertical slash.
Judge - She will stop to summon and hold their golden balance for a moment, and after a gleam, all targets in the same room will be damaged with ethereal damage directed at the soul. If a soul is not available, it will deal mental damage to the target. She needs some time to perform the attack again.

I was the unluckiest person in the world.
Everything around me did nothing but ruining my life.
But I had no power to change this fate.
Someday, someone made an offer to me.
‘If you accept it, your whole world will change.’
Such a tempting offer. I could become something that I could only wish to be...
But regardless of my choice...
Actually, I had no right to refuse this gift.
Whether I wanted it or not, we all know that I had to take it.
It takes as much as it gave to you.
What price did I pay to it?

She wears a white suit under her robe, similar to a business suit, with red cross-stitches instead of buttons for the suit, and dried dark red blood splattered on the right side of the business suit, or her left when wearing it. She also wears a red tie, though this is only seen at her neck since the tie is under the suit since stitching. Her undershirt's or the clothing she wears under the suit is unknown.

"What maketh thee hesitate? I am working miracles here."

Boss HP:???

"Da Capo."

Spoiler: ???

"From the beginning."
Name: ???
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Occupation: Information Team/ Conductor
"The conductor is a magician that brings life; a shaman who calls forth spirits."
Element: None/Sound
"This music doesn't ease the listener into a sweet melody..."
Mana Color: No specific color
Age: Same as Phoenix
Story: The strong sense of loneliness still lingers. To hide your soft inside, arm yourself with loneliness.
Give everything or give nothing. She chose to give everything, and lock away any other feelings so she could work endlessly for her company, and embrace the maddening music behind the walls of the corporation.
A prodigy of many things.
The conductor not only corrects musical errors, but it is also responsible for creating the best ensemble and leading the orchestra. A conductor’s skills can be determined within 5 minutes. The moment the conductor opens the score, its eyes, behavior, and atmosphere will be judged by the musicians. The musicians will then decide if the conductor is worthy to lead them. Without their harmony and cooperation, the music’s true message cannot be expressed. Therefore the conductor must maintain superb command, leadership, and have excellent power of persuasion.
"I don’t know how I play. My hands just move. And you'd feel… euphoric while playing. Everything around you fades away. It’s just you and the music."
Personality: She'd like to come forward and tend to be impetuous. Sometimes she would violate the rules for a better outcome. But since she always produced the best results, she usually got the idea put in some managers' heads to turn a blind eye to her is not a bad idea. This gave her some skill with acclimation, the ability to adapt to new conditions easier. It didn't help her with what turned her into what she is now. Maybe, without that trait, along with her curiosity and impulsiveness, she would be much more better. She was a chatterbox, talking quite a lot about music, though not of her own life or other lives, this trait carried over to her current state. Ever since speaking with someone, she has taken a few opinions about certain topics.
Despite her musical and carefree appearance, she feels burdened by her role as conductor, as she takes symphonies very seriously.
"I was the conductor of my corporation, I put my everything into it.
Now, I conduct the song of apocalypse to make everything right."
*As if she is about to start the performance, she stretches her arm.
The conductor, who thought she is the freest soul, was not free at all.*
Given this burden, she prefers to recess back into Phoenix's other forms, though she will rarely appear in special occasions.
"The performance never ends.
And Da Capo."
Though she prefers classical music, she is accepting of other forms of music.
Appearance: She wears a splendid white tailcoat perfect for a symphony and modified to double as a lab coat. Superb leadership is required to create a perfect ensemble.
Weapon:
"A fight is like a symphony, and *I* am the conductor."
Da Capo - A swinging scythe, in the shape of a musical note with other notes supplementing its appearance, is silent and moderate just like a conductor.
If the weapon could play music, it would play apocalypse. The wielder of this weapon hears some silent music that no one else can hear. The conductor does not rest until the finale. It would be wise to leave some audience alive until the finale to hear them applaud.
Abilities:
"The world’s most beautiful concert starts from the ruined."
She is immune to mental damage, and can absorb mental thoughts and use them to heal or strengthen herself. Mental attacks are only activity used to affect the mind in a negative way, like looking at some creature of insanity or being bombarded by mental attacks. In this sense, illusions that simply cloak or hide danger or beings are fine, and still can be used against her, but things designed with the purpose of harming the mind, as primary or as an indirect way, including cringe, is blocked.
"The music shall pierce through you."
Movement 1, Adagio: Calm and slow
Movement 2, Sostenuto: Restrained yet fast
Movement 3, Accelerando: Gradually faster and stronger
Movement 4, Stringendo: Gradually faster
Finale con fuoco, ma non troppo: Passionately, but refined
"In order to defeat a conductor, you must be a conductor. You must time your movements to the music, you must be prepared for all that might come, you must immerse yourself into what you are doing, whether or not it is battle or a symphony. You must be as skilled as the conductor to end the symphony."
Management:???
Theme Song: Musicians live for the audience’s applause. A musician’s life starts and ends with the audience’s applause. A standing ovation is the most honorable gift the audience can give to the conductor.

Spoiler: Conjurable EGOs

These are EGOs that Phoenix can recreate using her memory repository as a blueprint. She can also use her abnormality summoning to help recreate EGOs. Only Phoenix has this power, and no other character will have this power. This is not a comprehensive or exhaustive list, and will only list unique EGOs that do not appear outside of Amos Viren or is not a part of the original list of EGOs she can create.

Fingertrap (Dying Skin's EGO)
Weapon - It looks like a laser gun of some sort.
"Light is a powerful weapon.
Able to skin many without effort.
Now that you have its might in this device,
go make those who need to suffer from the power of light
and tear their skin away."

Suit - It appears to be heavily armored metal plates with skin tied to it.
"The skin of the abnormality, now in grasp.
Their pain and suffering will now block the pain and suffering of others.
She will be happy that it was put to good use.
Now protect those who can't save their own skin."


Nascent (Mysterious Adventurer's EGO)
Weapon - It appears as a powerful hand axe. It can poison enemies who are hit with the blade, and severely hurts those who are poisoned.
"Her reckless courage and willingness to do anything to uphold good tainted this blade with poison.
Perhaps she will learn about other virtues other than running into battle, axe first."

Armor - It appears as a black and white color schemed suit of light metal armor and clothing. There is a symbol representing an event that has happened years ago on it.
"She saw everything as either good or bad, but black and white no longer matter in this world. The lines between them have been blurred, but this armor has not yet been rendered obsolete yet...
Until it does fall to pieces, it will continue to see to the end of what was seen as good or bad."


Idol Gem (Temple Skull Ape's EGO)
Weapon - It appears to be a mace with an ancient gold head with two green gems for eyes.
"Coveted by many, the indirect death of all, this golden mace has the power of untold ages, but none are able to be deemed worthy of its true power."

Armor - It looks as if it was a part of a temple. A large omnious stone mouth of some creature is on the chest.
"A reminder of the temple's unforgiving trials, and seemingly endless endeavors. Most who have entered have never made it out alive."


Eliminak ("Creature's" EGO)
Weapon - It appears to be a staff made of alien technology. It is made of some purple and blue metallic material, and has multiple pulsating green lights on it, each able to be used for melee combat, with a cylinder-like firearm inside the main part of the staff that uses the lights to charge into a ball of explosive green energy.
"As the light subsided, a creature could be seen standing between the lead scientist and the artifact. The creature was like nothing seen before on this earth.
The scaly beast quickly withdrew its claw and presented the scientist with the tube on its left arm. A green blast left the woman dead on the dirt floor."

Armor - It is made of some purple and blue metallic material with black metal underneath it all. It has multiple flashing green button-like dots on it. The origin of this armor is unknown. The only one who was given the EGO, besides Phoenix, was fused to it.
"The ruins were unlike anything found before---black obelisks emanating a green energy. Strange marking adorned the monuments and edifices about the island. The archaeologist could not identify the source of any of their surroundings.
Could this be the cradle of all mankind?"


PhoenixTT2 (Phoenix's EGO)
Weapon - A weapon that constantly shifts its form, just like the creator herself. It can mimic any weapon that the user see, though the downside is that it cannot always use the same attacks to the same potential as the original weapon.
"Is that a monster?
That is called an Abnormality.
Is it different from a monster?
A monster is almost always a monster from their very beginning, but an abnormality is created from a human, or at the very least, a soul."

Armor - It shifts forms depending on situation. However, it can't shift too fast, or else it risks harming the user severely, and has the risk of shifting their body parts into odd places.
"Then... why do they not look like what they were before?
Because they are the very being of 'them'. This has a portion of their creator's will. They are extracted from it, and can be considered as living ideas, if you want that as you explanation.
I don't get it...
Abnormalities may not have a reason to exist, but they have an intention to exist. Take Big Bird for example. He and his thousand eyes have no reason other than a single tale to exist. But even when that tale was forgotten so long ago, they still exist. They are ideas that are alive."


Funtime (Twitching Funtime Cat Suit's EGO.)
Weapon - It appears to be a blue mechanical animatronic glove. That has an ability to launch spikes and clamp onto enemies with sharp saw like parts to dig into the target's flesh, if they have any.
"This is what you did to us... how much more are you willing to make us suffer?"

Armor - It appears to be a suit of animatronic parts, mask included. It has been safely removed of all of the parts that would normally kill the user. But a sense of uncomfortable feelings linger within the suit.
"And how much are you willing to join us in this nightmare?"


Determination (Polished Armor of a Thousand Battles' EGO)
Weapon - It appears to be a katana. Unlike normal katanas, it specifically targets the soul or mind of the opponent, not the physical parts of the opponent.
"The armor waits for another reckless one."

Armor - It appears as a polished set of samurai armor. It was taken care of quite well. It retains the power of the previous armor, while being new and shiny. Truly something to behold.
"It seems like you were not pacifist.
You feel the armor’s warm welcome."

Positivity (Ultislayer's EGO)
Weapon - It appears as a glowing green sword projection, similar to Ultislayer's sword, though smaller and weaker.
"A sword of an unknown humanoid species.
It gleams of light and hope.
Perhaps it can cut through despair of all types."

Armor - It appears to be a suit of white armor with green glowing outlines and circles in a tech like pattern.
"Wearing this suit gives hope to its wearer, preventing despair from taking over.
However, a feeling of drowsiness or tiredness will affect the wearer, possibly resulting in a habit of fainting."

Spoiler: Currently Unused/Unobtainable EGO

These are EGOs that cannot be obtained, but have been conceptualized at the very least.

Bad Time (Oka Ruto's EGO. Hah, you thought it was sans, but nope. Muahahahuhfrihey834ty.)
Rendered unused since I'm not putting this anywhere near the main universes in Amos Viren. Probably will change after a while if I feel like it. But for now, it's not coming close at all to contact anything in Amos Viren for a while.
Weapon - A book filled with dark magic, or is simply a conduit from which dark energies flows through. It is a powerful weapon when used, but it has a side effect of being unstable at times.
"It's been so long since I've felt like this.
The joy of murdering is something I missed.
I have a thirst that needs quenching.
I was going to kill innocents...
But I guess you'll be good practice."

Armor - Appears to be many arms and hands with fake sharp red nails covering some school clothes... What? Oh well, at least the red nail's hardness and the dark energy that flows through the arms will protect the user from outside threats, but how about inside threats...?
"I've been expecting you...
You're here to kill me...
Right?
I knew this day would come....
But...
Just so you know...
I won't go down without a *fight*"


Endless (Rizette's EGO)
Not implemented so not used. In other words, it's merely concept, and the weapon and armor, including its effects, probably will change. For lore purposes, Phoenix never met Rizette.
Weapon - A cruel sleek blade that is covered in a toxic poison. Holding gives a sense of despair.
"She doesn't know how many times she has died."

Armor - It appears to be a form of demon armor. Those who touch this armor, besides the wearer, will be poisoned.
"They all blur together, a haze of pain, darkness, and brutal rebirth."


Enduring Magma (Astrid's EGO)
Weapon - A large broadsword used by a proud perfectionist, it bears no scratch, though it will cause them.
"Flames can erupt from the blade in an orderly fashion.
Meaning only those who understand how to deal with the flames will be able to use it effectively.
Just like the perfectionist where this weapon came from."

Armor - Gold colored plating with a red and black color scheme.
"It has an outwards appearance of confidence and strength to protect insecurities.
But what would those insecurities be?"


Obsidian Storm (Norza's EGO)
Weapon - A blade forged from shadow to be the most deadly sword in existence. Though, this is not the real one, or even close, it still packs a punch.
"It was supposed to be the best weapon that ever existed.
It was supposed to achieve perfect victories.
He did everything he could to eliminate all of the weaknesses..."

Armor - A dark cloak with deep shadow armor.


Exeternia (Crestbearer's EGO)
Weapon Only - A powerful sword, able to duplicate any power that it comes into contact with it, and it will always survive the attacks, no matter how devastating the curse is.

Spoiler: EGO forms

These characters is simply Phoenix equipping their respective EGOs. Though their main personality stays the same, depending on EGO, they might have certain quirks added to them.

"The price for my handy work will be free when the day I cut that damned thing’s head off comes."

Spoiler: Crimson Scar

Appearance: Along with black clothes and bandages, she wears a red hood and covers half her face with a teeth-like mask. Unlike the abnormality this came from, she still possesses both eyes and has no discernable scars unique to this form.
Weapons: She wields shotgun-like pistols, and a scythe-like dagger, and rarely an axe.
Personality additions: She will only fight other people's fight if either the fight threatens her enough, or if they give a good enough reward for the job. She despises wolves, and will attack them at any costs.
Abilities:
Lycan-immune - She cannot be turned into a werewolf. If she was a werewolf before, turning into this EGO form will cure her of her state as a werewolf of any kind, no matter what curse she was inflicted with, no matter how powerful it is.
Flaws:
Lycan-hatred: She will frenzy upon finding a wolf or werewolf like creature, and attack them furiously, regardless of friend or foe. She will not stop until the target is subdued or if she is suppressed. She gives a special exception to normal dogs, though she only tolerates them. If they agitate her too much, she will frenzy onto the dog as if it were a wolf.

"Don’t look away, just keep on watching. Contain it inside your sight."

Spoiler: Heaven

Appearance: She wears a business suit with red eyes appearing all over it. The suit appears to be made of flesh. She has two limbs/wings-like extremities that branch into minor parts. The main color of the suit is red, and eyes are all over the branches.
Weapons: Usually a spear, though she can use her branches to attack.
Personality additions: She enjoys being looked at. She grows agitated if not being looked at. It uses recently deceased bodies as fertilizer.

"Blinking is okay, it will tolerate a brief moment.
But when it thinks you have lost attention and concentration,
it will spread its wings.
Wings, yes, wings.
Like paying tribute to a long forgotten god, its bloody wings will extend, as if to cover the entire corridor."

Becoming agitated will cause her to frenzy. She will return to normal when she is watched or if someone suppresses her.

Abilities:
Sight - She can sense if someone is looking at her from anywhere. Her attack will be weakened when she is being watched, but her defenses will skyrocket. If she is not being viewed, she will gain immense speed and has greater attack strength than normal, with lowered defenses.

"I'm really wrapped into current affairs... You get it? Because current, and electricit- whatever, whatever whateverwhatever."

Spoiler: Vincent

Name: Vincent
Species: Human Planeswalker
Mana color: Red and blue
Magic Specialties: Arcanist and Artificer
Faction: None
Backstory: Born to an abusive family in the world known as Lotus Mox, he was raised in magic and tactical planning throughout his education. Dispising his family for what they have done to him through his life however, he hoarded his accumulated knowledge away, slowly becoming obsessed with magic and powerful artifacts. This culminated into him stealing many supplies for his own purposes, usually to attempt to augment himself to grow stronger. At some time after his obsession culminated, he later killed his parents. However, unusually, it was an accident, involving samples of aether and electrical overloading. This traumatized him, as he did not mean for it to happen, and he was later crushed to know that he killed them, despite his original hatred of them. This ignited his planeswalker spark, sending them to the Calculation. A world built for perfection, and upon the inhabitants seeing he was not 'perfect', he was hunted there. Finding refuge to what was known as the Large Nothingness,(Sounds a lot like the Big Empty, but actually the 'big empty', not MT.) he practiced magic even further, but this practice was limited as he did not have sustainable equipment. Because of his limited amount of equipment and proper items to test, he learned little from it, other than some mistakes and what not to do. He fled the Calculation, and kept travelling worlds, wondering where he would gain more and more knowledge. Even making a companion... for a period of time. But, in the back of his mind, the death of his parents lingers...
Appearance: He wears a black-red cloak and robes with a metal mask and a illusion of perpetual shadow that conceals his face. He also wears a cape with a symbol of a handprint-like symbol with a dragon within emblazoned on the back of the cape. A belt is worn on his torso, with a gem close to his heart, that gives him an increased degree of detection. He also has two energy gauntlets concealed under his sleeves.
Items: He wields two gauntlets capable of absorbing or expelling energy, including magic and mana. Vincent prefers to use these gauntlets to conduct electricity as it is already able to conduct itself and discharge without too much effort. For that reason, he carries an accumulator to store static energy. He carries a light blue gem along with a red knowledge crystal that he uses to store knowledge, obviously, into a form in which users, as long as they know how to use it, can access any and all of its contents. The knowledge also includes designed snow globes for certain places.
Personality: His primal driving force is a lust for power and knowledge. He dislikes talk about family and would rather avoid it entirely. He uses both theoretical and applied science and spellcraft, in the passionate seeking of, and thirst for, knowledge. Combined with this drive for discovery and child-like curiosity, he jumps to and from ideas as he sees fit, discarding old ideas for new ones that attract his attention. Despite this obsessive thirst for knowledge, he holds the lives of those he called friends higher, and takes one's death as a failure on his part, reminding him of the death of his parents.
Traits:
Planeswalker Spark - The spark gives its owner increased magical power and skill, and allows the power of Planeswalking. It as well grants a power to replenish mana, and use mana from almost any world, though he will have some repercussions from using mana he never used. He can use aether as a substitute of mana.
Abilities:
Planeswalk - He is able to travel through dimensions and universes. He can carry small objects and their clothing, but not, for example, food or other people that aren't planeswalkers. He disappears when he planeswalks in a blast of thermal energy.
Summoning - He is able to summon creatures to do his bidding by pulling them from aether and/or mana. These summoned creatures have no will of their own, and vanish when no longer needed. However, when said creature is summoned, they suffer from summoning sickness for the post they were summoned, and cannot attack during said post, though they can be attacked. The logic behind the summoning sickness is that a creature is so disoriented by the experience of being summoned that it has to rest before it can do anything more than defend itself or use simple abilities. He can also use this ability to summon objects, being an artificer, though it needs more mana to do that. He however can make snow globes(Out of all things) with little to no mana required.
Magic Copying - He is able to use most magic spells, and is able to copy spells and enchantments from objects and use them at any time in the future at the cost of requiring more mana, i.e. he can copy a Water Bolt's spell and retain it for use later, though he requires more effort and mana in order to use it without having the actual item.
Magic - He is proficient with magic and spells. For using/summoning elements with magic, he prefers the elements of electricity, fire, then water, in that order, as a reference to the death of his parents, the electricity that caused it, the fire that followed, and the water used to put it out. Given his unique elemental combination, he usually has storm related puns or dialogue about it.
Avatar - Able to summon an aspect or projection of himself, he can use this to fight in battles that require other means. The avatar cannot physically hurt others unless imbued with elemental powers, but can harm soul like entities.
Weaknesses:
Mana - He requires mana to use most of his abilities. Otherwise, he is unable to use them.
Mortal - While he is usually a powerful mage, they are still physical beings that in general age normally, can be harmed, and need the same sustenance as other mortals.
Loyalty - He usually fights until discouraged to a certain point. When his loyalty counter reaches zero (0), he will leave combat through normal means or through planeswalking. You don't see people getting themselves down to low life, but then hanging around for another attack, to see whether he'll get out of his predicament or whether his life will be over forever. No. He attacks or distracts his opponent for a period of time and gets the hell out of there—and so would you, if you got one death per forever.
Restrictions:
New world - They do not regenerate as much mana as usual, due to them being not used to use this world specific mana. However, in certain areas, they can use their normal mana.
S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Stats:
Strength: 6, good strength, nothing too much.
Perception: 9, excellent perception, explained through magic research and heightened senses.
Endurance: 4, fair endurance, not one who takes a large amount of hits, and can't always keep up. Attempts to make up for it through magical means, but these have yet to help.
Charisma: 4, fair charisma, not much a people person, but is able to function somewhat normally in social situations.
Intelligence: 9, excellent intelligence as seen through the ability to retain magic spells quite easily.
Agility: 5, average agility, prefers to use magic as a form of transportation, but can still run like an average person.
Luck: 3, poor luck, not always lucky, but makes up for luck with intelligence and preparation, living to the quote 'Luck is for the ill-prepared'.

Personality: As a historian ever since he heard of the quote “Only a fool learns from his own mistakes. The wise man learns from the mistakes of others.”, he usually likes to remind those of the past in order to learn from them. He is usually sarcastic and naive though, given he is a teenager. He is suspicious of those who can wield magic, ever since his run in with Kaos. Originally very egotistical, but was humbled by the battles he faced against Kaos.

Story: Coming from an unknown land to venture to the Town of Grove, he braves the Dungeon with his companion by his side. Upon entering the Dungeon Gate, he was placed on the path of great adventure. Defeating a monstrous creature that was threatening Grove, he returned, only for an old man foreseeing danger to trouble Wircavil. Venturing back into the Dungeon, the old man led him to the Temple of Fate, upon opening the Temple with Wircavil's help, the old man revealed himself as Kaos. Being filled with self confidence, Wircavil fought against Kaos, only for Kaos to simply ignore the attacks and overpower Wircavil with untold power from the temple's relic. Regaining consciousness, he found that the slivers of Kaos's magic has opened two gates within the Temple of Fate, dimensional portals to be exact. One leading to a world full of Nature, and life, and the other being a harsh eternal blizzard, both with a city that outstood all the others, but were facing the same threats that Grove once had. Helping out these two cities, he defeated the threats of the two worlds and he recovered parts of two statues of the heroes of those worlds, which upon completing, fulfilled their promise: "Great power belongs to those who maintain the Glorious Dead." Granting Wircavil the powers of those heroes he ventured back into the Dungeon of the Temple of Fate, and after a tense battle with Kaos, Wircavil finally defeated Kaos. Tired but exhilarated, he looked at himself through the crystals that decorated the Temple. Who was he, he asked. He couldn't recognize himself anymore. He could no longer be seen as the youth who entered the Dungeon all that time ago. So when the Traveler arrived, telling of a Chamber of Trials, he was sure that the spoils of completing the trials would be his, after all, he thought, he was the Hero of Grove, the Guardian of Fate. But after remembering Kaos defeating him with such ease... He decide not to think in that mindset. He knew that he wasn't the most powerful. But he was willing to fight, and take the trials. So, he stepped forward and accepted the trials. Wircavil was joined at the nether gate of the Trials by three strangers... an Orcish warrior, seeking to claim his warrior heritage; an envoy from the ornate fortresses of the Shadow Elves, hungry for the powers of the arcane; and a Cogger engineer, red-faced from the volcanic forges, hunting for remnants of the lost sciences. The portal was reflective, so it did not occur to him that it was strange that a reflection would copy his every movement. What was strange was... the eyes. The eyes have a malice he known only in the heat of battle, a cruel stare... The other three beings, also see the shadows that lie beyond. They have their own threats to face; their inner savagery, fiercest greed, and deepest obsession. Something that he cannot help them with, and in return, he has something that he could not receive help on. They all advanced to fight the shadows, their Nemesis, but they weren't a common threat, not a clear foe. It was a darkness that was waiting for him, and only him. The destruction of the Nemesis allowed a small frame to breath. With that, Wircavil returned to their home, the city of Ekbatan. There was a curse on the king of the city, and the curse came from a being named T'Kala. By enlisting the three who were with him during the Chamber of Trials and an Imp from Ekbatan, they all set out to fight T'Kala and release the city from the curse that they placed. With the king's curse finally resolved, their journey together were complete, and they all left for their own world. Wircavil later perished out of exhaustion and the magic influence of the Dungeon. However, Wircavil's soul still had no rest, and sought a way back, to which Fate granted him a choice, to which Wircavil said yes, desperate to continue. He was revived, only to be in a new world. Upon when he feels the time is right, he can leave any world he travels to by dissipating with a magical burst of light, allowing him to be reborn in another world. Reincarnation after reincarnation, he ventured throughout worlds, seeking adventure, but always a child at heart. What will he encounter next, he wondered?

Spoiler: Faithful

Wircavil's Pet: Faithful
Species: Canine (Dog)
Abilities:
Fish eating - He transforms when he eats certain fish. Usually his transformations are temporary, but some rare fish will permanently transform him into a specific creature until he is fed another fish. Keep in mind that dogfish always transform him back into the creature they were.
Flight in Fight - He is loyal and will not abandon Wircavil in the face of overwhelming odds, but they will flee if their health whittles down to nothing. If this happens, using a heal spell or health potion to restore Faithful's courage in battle. Faithful will gradually heal over time, so they will eventually return to fighting form, but a healing potion is always the most expeditious way to get them back into the fray.

"Thing."

Spoiler: Lobotomite

I haven't finished all of the Lobotomites yet.

Name: Test Subject Continuous/ Squad 1
Gender: Male
Species: Lobotomite
Appearance: A seemingly human being that is wearing an armored jumpsuit, along with an armored mask, with a respirator, some headphones, high-tec goggles and straps to attach them all.
Personality: Just like the other Lobotomites, they have survival instincts in mind. They do almost anything in order to ensure their survival. Ever since becoming a Lobotomite, they lost most of their complex emotions, but they are still able to feel some emotions.
Items they have:
Proton Axe - The proton axe resembles a futuristic war-axe with a glowing blue blade of electrical energy at its head. On the other side it has two capacitors which also share the same blue electric current. The proton axe does extra damage against robots and enemies with power armor.
10mm SMG - A 10mm Sub Machine Gun. An unique feature of the weapon is its two selectors: one for switching between safety, single shot mode, and automatic mode, and another for specifying the size of the burst, up to fully automatic fire.
PIP Boy - Ever since the Courier has appeared at Big MT, Dr. O/Zero decided to research the PIP Boy as it was RobCo technology. After scanning and recreating it, they decided to add these to a few Lobotomites, in order to make more effective weapons. This can record conversations, contain objects, fast travel, and activates VATS, etc.
Traits
Being a Lobotomite (These contain actual game descriptions, so it should give you an idea about it.):
Brainless - Lobotomites' brain has been replaced with advanced technologies: Their head can no longer be crippled and is resistant to chem addiction (+25% resistance) and shock from bodily damage (+5% Damage Threshold, minimum +1). It cannot be hacked into remotely, as it is incapable of accepting internet connections.
Heartless - Lobotomite's heart has been replaced with advanced technologies: Lobotomites cannot be poisoned, and filters in their heart will also regulate bleeding and healing, allowing all healing items (chems) to function at a higher level. Robots are now confused by lobotomites and 50% less likely to score a critical hit.
Spineless - Lobotomite's spine has been replaced with advanced technologies: Lobotomites' torso can no longer be crippled and their Strength (STR) and Damage Threshold (DT) have been increased (+1)
EMP immunity - Lobotomites are usually unaffected by EMP weapons, save for a small tingling sensation. This is shown by attacking a Lobotomite with an EMP weapon, like the Pulse Gun. It does not protect items with the exception of the PIP-Boy, given the immense wear and tear it can go though proving so.

Name: Test Subject Infinity/ Squad 2
Gender: Female
Species: Lobotomite
Appearance: A seemingly human being that is wearing an armored jumpsuit, along with an armored mask, with a respirator, some headphones, high-tec goggles and straps to attach them all.
Personality: Just like the other Lobotomites, they have survival instincts in mind. They do almost anything in order to ensure their survival. Ever since becoming a Lobotomite, they lost most of their complex emotions, but they are still able to feel some emotions.
Items they have:
Saturnite Heated Fist - It has a similar design to the power fist, but has a lightning blue hue. The number "D-25A" is engraved on the left side, while the name Saturnite and the corporate logo are engraved at the bottom. This weapon is an upgrade of the standard Saturnite D-25A, overheated by a process only known by the Toaster of The Sink. It now inflicts fire damage, but while the saturnite material keeping the heat remained intact, the mechanism is damaged, causing a loss of attack speed.
10mm SMG - A 10mm Sub Machine Gun. An unique feature of the weapon is its two selectors: one for switching between safety, single shot mode, and automatic mode, and another for specifying the size of the burst, up to fully automatic fire.
PIP Boy - Ever since the Courier has appeared at Big MT, Dr. O/Zero decided to research the PIP Boy as it was RobCo technology.

Name: Test Subject Life/ Squad 3
Gender: Male
Species: Lobotomite
Appearance: A seemingly human being that is wearing a streamline full body suit, along with an armored mask, with a respirator, some headphones, high-tec goggles and straps to attach them all.
Personality: A test subject with the three parts of the technology of Big MT for Lobotomites, this Lobotomite has regained their normal emotions, though, at the lost of memory.
Items they have:
Sonic Emitter - The sonic emitter is a pulse vertebrae desensitizer researched and developed at the Big MT. Though originally meant for medical applications, including spine anesthesia, it performs admirably as a general purpose weapon, and deals more damage to robots and power armor wearers thanks to the resonace of metal. Due to its reliance on sonic waves, different frequencies can be loaded into the emitter to obtain different effects. One of the more spectacular modifications is a pulse wave that can disrupt and deactivate repulsion fields.
X-2 Antenna - The X-2 Antenna can be used to focus alpha wave frequency thought patterns. When used as a melee weapon, the antennae focuses brainwave patterns and does electrical damage. The antenna permanently allows the lobotomite to work somewhat well, and if activated, allows internet connections.
The Aural stealth suit/ Psychoanalytic cardiac-dampening sneaky stealth suit - The stealth suit is a streamline full body suit with protective attachments on the chest, shoulders, forearms and knees. The entire suit is a dull grey-green color perfect for blending in in urban settings with the exception of a luminescent white chest piece with similar white stripes on the back. The suit itself has a built-in medical system that dispenses Med-X and stimpaks automatically. A female-voiced on-board computer narrates the usage and current levels of these items, as well as warning of impending combat situations, reminding the player of an active Pip-Boy light, and making off-hand comments without prompting.
PIP Boy - Ever since the Courier has appeared at Big MT, Dr. O/Zero decided to research the PIP Boy as it was RobCo technology. After scanning and recreating it, they decided to add these to a few Lobotomites, in order to make more effective weapons. This can record conversations, contain objects, fast travel, and activates VATS, etc.
Traits
Being a Lobotomite (These contain actual game descriptions, so it should give you an idea about it.):
Brainful - The Lobotomite's brain is back in their body, but some of the advanced technologies remain: Their head still cannot be crippled, but they are only 10% more resistant to addiction now. Surprisingly their damage threshold has improved by 10% (minimum +1 DT)
Heartless - Lobotomite's heart has been replaced with advanced technologies: Lobotomites cannot be poisoned, and filters in their heart will also regulate bleeding and healing, allowing all healing items (chems) to function at a higher level. Robots are now confused by lobotomites and 50% less likely to score a critical hit.

Character gags, mechanics, or quirks.

Spoiler

All of my characters, regardless of species or lack of mouth, can say, in Korean: '만지지 마', which means 'Don't touch (me)'.
Each character to date now has a hidden Qliploth Counter. As they reach zero, whatever ability the Qliploth Counter is tied to will activate.
